Biography Joey DeMaio was working as a bass tech / pyrotechnic for Black Sabbath when he met with guitarist Ross the Boss, playing for a group called Shakin Street, a Black Sabbath support band. They later recruited Eric Adams for vocals and Donnie Hamzik for the drums, to create Manowar — a band with an unusual epic sound. Manowar recorded Battle Hymns, their debut album, which featured "Dark Avenger", a slow epic track with narration by Orson Welles (Welles later returned on the Fighting the World album and did the narration on another slow track called "Defender"). Joey DeMaio is the bass player and main songwriter for the Heavy Metal band Manowar which he co-founded in 1980. ...

Their second album, Into Glory Ride, was the first to feature Scott Columbus as drummer. Because of his viciousness behind the drums, standard kits simply collapsed. Custom stainless steel kits had to be built just for him. Their third album, titled Hail to England, was mixed and recorded in only six days. The band's "Spectacle of Might" tour of Great Britain is subject to claims that the loudness of one of the band's performances was measured at 129.5 decibels (100 times louder than a Smashing Pumpkins concert, 10 times louder than a Twisted Sister concert and a tiny bit softer than standing next to a military aircraft at take off). In 1984, Manowar found themselves in the book Guinness World Records as the "loudest band in the world," following the release, and during the supporting tour, of their fourth album Sign of the Hammer. [[1] Their following albums were Sign of the Hammer, Fighting the World, Kings of Metal, The Triumph of Steel, Louder Than Hell, Hell on Wheels (live), Hell on Stage (live), Warriors of the World and Dawn of Battle single. Meanwhile DeMaio started his own label, Magic Circle Music, including symphonic epic metallers (e.g. Rhapsody of Fire) in their roster. Into Glory Ride is Manowars second heavy metal album. ...

True metal "'True metal' is music that's true to the style of classic heavy metal. It's not diluted. It's not pussied out. It's not wimped out. It's played from the heart, 100 percent." Joey DeMaio
True metal is a subjective term which is said to have been coined and used by the band in the 1980s. The examples and perspective in this article or section may not represent a worldwide view. ...
It is thought that the term was originally a statement against a subgenre of metal, known as glam metal. The term came into wider use during the 1990s as newer subgenres such as nu-metal, alternative metal, and metalcore, came into existence. However, fans of the original, hard rock based metal are not known to generally use this term. Glam metal is a sub-genre of heavy metal music that arose in the late 1970s in the United States. ...
See also 1990s, the band The 1990s decade refers to the years from 1990 to 1999, inclusive, sometimes informally including popular culture from the very late 1980s and from 2000 and beyond. ...
Nu metal (also called aggro metal, or nü metal using the traditional heavy metal umlaut) is a musical genre that has origins in the mid 1990s. ...
Alternative metal is an eclectic form of rock music that gained popularity in the early 1990s alongside grunge. ...
Metalcore is a musical genre consisting of a mix between heavy metal and hardcore punk. ...
Some debate the former understanding, simply because the band Manowar have never expressed much regard for glam metal bands such as Poison. So it was suggested that "Death To False Metal!" refers mostly to extreme metal, which is ironic, as extreme metal fans and bands view death metal, black metal and similar genres as "true metal." See Man of war, a type of warship Portuguese Man O War, a jellyfish like creature. ...
Glam metal is a sub-genre of heavy metal music that arose in the late 1970s in the United States. ...
Poison is an American glam metal band which originally achieved popular success in the late 1980s and early 1990s. ...
Extreme metal is a broad term for metal subgenres of a more aggressive style than traditional heavy metal. ...
Death metal is a sub-genre of heavy metal that evolved out of thrash metal during the early 1980s. ...
Black metal started in the early 1980s with bands such as Venom, Bathory, Celtic Frost, Mercyful Fate, and Hellhammer. ...
Other evidence which adds strength to this claim came when Adrian Smith of Iron Maiden, during an internet hosted interview with "The Three Amigos" (Murray/Gers/Smith), was asked if he/they enjoy Norwegian black metal; he replied: "No. Death To False Metal!". Iron Maiden is an English heavy metal band from East London. ...
However, Manowar have shown respect for Venom, Celtic Frost, and Mercyful Fate, three early extreme metal bands in many interviews in the '80s. Manowar have also taken Immortal on tour with them. Joey DeMaio has stated Immortal play true metal, though a different kind. Venom is a black/speed metal band, formed in late 1978, in Gateshead, a town near Newcastle upon Tyne, England. ...
Celtic Frost is an innovative heavy metal group from Zürich, Switzerland, best known for their influence on the thrash metal, black metal and death metal genres. ...
Mercyful Fate is an influential Danish heavy metal group that helped inspire the black metal, thrash metal and prog metal genres. ...

Quotes - "It's a shame that future musicians growing up now are being influenced by trash; it's really upsetting. You are basically formed by what your influences are and if you've got losers for influences, you're going to have a hard time overcoming that." -Eric Adams in an interview conducted in 1988
- "I believe in the fans, I believe in metal more than anybody you've ever met. And you've known me a long time. I've never pissed on you even though you constantly do it to me. And I don't stab the fan in the back. And another thing, I'm prepared to die for metal. Are you?" -Joey DeMaio during a 2006 interview with the Rock Hard magazine.
- "If you're not into Metal - you are not my friend!" -Joey DeMaio
- "Each day, you wake up and get out of bed knowing that there is shit waiting for you. Each day is a struggle, a battle and you must prepare for these battles, these wars. You have to be prepared. That is where the spirit of MANOWAR comes in. It is for everybody, both men and women, who have the fighting spirit. You either fight to win or your throw up your hands and admit that you are fucked." -Joey DeMaio
- "Heavy Metal will never die!" -Joey DeMaio during the Monsters of Rock in Brazil (2002). Recorded on the DVD Fire and Blood.
- "I'm sorry, I dont listen to country music." -Joey DeMaio when asked what he thought about Metallica. One possible reason that DeMaio may have shown his dislike for Metallica was that in 1999 there was a Gods of Metal fest, and Manowar played Nessun Dorma for their Italian fans; Metallica had played the night before, and James Hetfield was not happy with the song Manowar decided to play.
- "This is what we do. And if you like it, good. If not, go fuck yourself." -Joey DeMaio
- "We play Metal pure, you know. We don't play radio bullshit. We don't suck ass." -Joey DeMaio
- "We just live the part of Metal, you know. We are here to rock, drink and fuck. And that's it. The power is in the music." -Joey DeMaio
- "Somebody who never compromised their music and their integrity. And never screwed their fans. Somebody who always delivered Metal, and melted people's faces at maximum power." -Joey DeMaio on how he would like to be remembered.
- "I know that a lot of people are against us. But they can get fucked and eat shit and die. Manowar are here to show everybody else that Metal will live on." -Joey DeMaio
- "We care about our bands, the quality of music and the metal fans more than anyone else!" -Joey DeMaio in the Magic Circle Music webiste.
- "We have the greatest fans in the world," attests drummer Scott Columbus . "For a long time, our fans have stood by us. They've given everything to the belief that together we are the defenders of the heavy metal faith. That's why we've been able to keep playing our brand of music. That's why we haven't wimped out or bowed to commercialism. Our fans are at the core of everything we do. That's the way it's been done from the beginning."
