Review - Metal Invader - 5/5

I could just write the titles of the 16 tracks (9 songs, 6 intro, 1 outro) of the 3rd album by NANOWAR OF FIRE and everyone would understand what album we are dealing with.‘Into Gay Pride Ride’ is an amusing album, nice to hear it if you want to have fun. I believe that's a great reason to hear music... They satirize all the clichés of true, epic, power and heavy metal. But as you can imagine MANOWAR and RHAPSODY OF FIRE are their favourites. What they do they do it in a unique way. They mocked with many other bands not only from the metal phasma. PINK FLOYD for example, has not been able to escape from the Italians. 'Odino & Valhalla' that is my favorite song is a mix of MANOWAR and RHAPSODY OF FIRE, PINK FLOYD's 'Another Brick In The Wall' with an epic bridge of ‘Lambada’ (yes Lambada!!!!) , with the theme song from ‘The Good, The Bad And The Ugly’ (ENNIO MORRICCONE) through the whole thing. Another highlight is the closing song ‘Karkangnor’s Song’ – ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘In The Forest’ – that it is a Blind Guardian hilarious parody. Even poser/glam bands are on target on ‘Surprise Love’, which is a parody of POISON and BON JOVI, together with a piece of Shaggy’s ‘Boombastic’.
    Completely humorous ‘Into Gay Pride Ride’ is much better than their 2 previous releases musically speaking. Top level power metal such as GAMMA RAY with a mix of everything is the only way I can describe it though! If you take yourselves to serious, you have a problem with NANOWAR OF STEEL. But that's the last you have to worry about.
