Manowar, credited with founding the true metal genre, was formed in Auburn, New York in 1980 by Joey DeMaio and Ross “the Boss” Friedman. The two met during Black Sabbath’s Heaven and Hell Tour (fronted by Ozzy Osbourne), as DeMaio was on bass and pyrotechnics and Friedman was on guitar for the opening act Shakin’ Street. Since then, the band has played with partly changing line-ups.

They had actually announced themselves in Krefeld as the cover band “The Lords of Steel” – under this name, however, they had now also appeared in Münster. Manowar played live on the show for the first time with their new drummer, Dave Chedrick. He replaces Anders Johansson who is unable to take part in the ‘Crushing The Enemies Of Metal Anniversary Tour ’22/23’ due to family commitments. The surprising performance in Münster acted as a warm-up show for the upcoming tour in Europe.

The Kufa is now the next step in warming up – and seems to be establishing itself for such pre-tour concerts: the Düsseldorf punk band Broilers had already given a warming up there before their tour in May.
