Album Overview

Into Glory Ride is Manowar's 1983 album and one of the band's defining early heavy-metal releases. The record is built around heavy guitar riffs, forceful bass and drums, dramatic vocals, and epic songwriting. Its powerful presentation helped establish Manowar's identity within the traditional-metal scene and influenced the band's later reputation for grand themes and uncompromising heaviness. This Japanese pressing is especially attractive to collectors of classic metal and fans interested in the early history of American heavy-metal bands.
