Manowarriors,

We just celebrated the anniversary of Sign Of The Hammer – an album that’s meant the world to us and to you for over 40 years.
Now let me give you an update on the re-recording.

We announced this project a while back, and many of you have been asking: Where is it?
Fair question. You deserve an honest answer, so here it is:

Re-recording a beloved album is a massive responsibility for us. These songs are part of your lives. They’re hymns that have carried you through your toughest moments.
We don’t take that lightly.

So here’s what happened:
We recorded everything. We listened. And we weren’t satisfied.

The sound wasn’t there yet. It wasn’t the crushing, earth-shaking power we demand from ourselves—and that you deserve.

So what did we do? We took apart our studios, tried new equipment configurations. We recorded again. But still not quite “it”. And then it was time to prep for tour and hit the road.

Could we have rushed it out? Sure. But that’s not who we are.
We’ve never compromised, and we’re not starting now.

Rest assured: Sign Of The Hammer re-recorded will be released. And new music, too.
And when it drops, it’s going to sound meaner, heavier, and more powerful than anything we’ve done before.

Thank you for your patience and loyalty. Stay tuned!

Hail and Kill!

Joey
