 Deadtide.com : Reviews : Albums : Manowar, "The Sons of Odin"
From a strictly musical perspective, Manowar are essentially than the archetype for Rhapsody, though barbaric and leather-clad instead of Sylvan and bloused.
And, too, like Rhapsody (at least recently), the songs on ‘The Sons of Odin’ often feel strangely incomplete, as if they are all building towards a raging, up-tempo battle anthem that never reaches fruition.
Clearly, this was Manowar’s cue to unleash their own berserk rage on the listener, blasting away like we all know they can and doing the All-Father proud.

 Review: Manowar - The Sons Of Odin [ Magic Circle, 2006, mCD ] ~ The Forgotten Scroll
One year after the release of the “King of Kings” single, Manowar returns with a mini album entitled “The Sons of Odin”.
This is but a prelude to the band’s forthcoming concept album “Gods of War” (scheduled to hit the streets in early 2007), giving us a taste of what will follow.
“Odin” is just a symphonic prelude, an epic introduction with not much to talk about.

Continuing MANOWAR's mission to never stray from their heavy metal style, Gods Of War will present a new level of heaviness, intensity and brutality to the MANOWAR mythos.
"With this kind of theme… when you are paying tribute to Odin, the God of War, country music or jazz would not create the appropriate mental imagery and would not do justice to the Father of the Gods himself," says MANOWAR bassist and founder Joey DeMaio.
MANOWAR's battle will begin within the next few days with the launch of the e-card for The Sons Of Odin EP and the fans can also expect a Virtual Release Party at www.manowar.com.
