'Magic Circle Festival 2007' Live Double-DVD: Details Revealed

October 12, 2007

On July 6 and July 7, 2007, 25,000 true metal fans gathered in Bad Arolsen, Germany to watch MANOWAR and a legion of other heavy metal warriors perform on the largest stage in the country. An incredible spectacle to behold at 40 meters wide, 16 meters deep, weighing 70 tons and requiring over 250,000 watts of power to run the PA systems and 442,000 watts of intense lighting.

Earlier that same summer, on June 30, 2007, MANOWAR and HOLYHELL performed at the Kaliakra Rock Fest in Kavarna, Bulgaria, to another 25,000 true metal fans.Those who witnessed these festivities first-hand will never forget what they saw and heard during these two incredible weekends. Now metal fans everywhere can relive both unique experiences with the "Magic Circle Festival 2007" double-DVD set.

This double-DVD package will feature songs from SADIAN, IMPERIA, MOB RULES, LION'S SHARE, DAVID SHANKLE GROUP, HEAVENLY, MESSIAH'S KISS, HOLYHELL and STORMWARRIOR (featuring Kai Hansen); no one who helped make this festival special is left out, one live song from each local band BLACK SITUATION and MORDEEN will also appear in the bonus section. The Bulgarian section will also include performances by HOLYHELL and Russian hard rock act SIXTH SENSE, an address to the fans by Joey DeMaio and a documentary on the Kaliakra Rock Fest, including interviews with the festival organizers Joker Media and the legendary "Metal Mayor" of Kavarna.

MANOWAR's performance from the German festival will include classic songs such as "Brothers Of Metal", "Kill With Power", "Holy War", "Black Wind, Fire And Steel" as well as newer songs "Gods Of War" and "Hymn Of The Immortal Warriors", leading up to an incredible finale performance of "The Crown And The Ring" complete with an explosive fireworks display. Additional footage includes impassioned speeches from Joey DeMaio to the fans and the exciting presentation of two "MANOWAR custom chopper motorcycles" to the lucky contest winners. Next is a fantastic set of MANOWAR material live from the Kaliakra Rock Fest in Kavarna, Bulgaria 2007. Again, this set traverses MANOWAR's entire history, from fan favorites "Kings Of Metal", "Metal Warriors" and "Hail And Kill" to the powerful new anthem "Die For Metal" and MANOWAR's metal version of the Bulgarian national anthem "Mila Rodino".

MANOWAR bassist Joey DeMaio reportedly announced at this year's Magic Circle Festival that the event will be held annually from now on. On the first day of next year's gathering, MANOWAR will sign as much stuff as they can and will give away "thousands" of free beers and copies of their new single as well as four custom-built chopper bikes, each belonging to one of the bandmembers. On top of that, MANOWAR will apparently play their first six albums in their entirety, from "Battle Hymns" to "Kings of Metal".
