Nanowar Of Steel’s new release, entitled “Stairway to Valhalla”, is perhaps the greatest Happy-Metal album of all times.
“Stairway to Valhalla” will be released on November, 9th 2018.
Featuring world-class guests such as Fabio Lione (Angra, Rhapsody, Rhapsody Of Fire, Staropoliless Fabio Lione’s Rhapsody of Luca Turilli), Alessandro del Vecchio (Edge Of Forever, Vodoo Circle, SSC Napoli) and Mario Draghi (Goldman Sachs, ECB) this album’s spans over a wide range of unusual music styles and genres, from Brazilian Samba to Damaged Dream Theater CDs (yes, that’s a music style), from Liechtensteinische Volksmusik to Dubstep, with a touch of sincere idiocy.
There’s Hard Rock (“Uranus”), Epic Metal (Rhapsody Of Fire-style in “Barbie MILF Princess of the Twilight” and Blind Guardian-style in “The Quest for Carrefour”), Thrash Metal (“Heavy Metal Kibbles”), New Metal (“Call of Cthulhu” and “L’Opelatole Ecologico”) among heaps of good old solid in-Classic-Power Metal.
There’s in-your-face riffs alongside childish melodies and catchy refrains. The lyrics describe Nanowar’s philosophic attempt at delivering the ultimate solutions to Western society’s most pressing dilemmas, such as: What is the main driver of runaway inflation? Who is the boyfriend of David Hasselhoff? What happens when you date a XII century French monument on Tinder? The unsettling answers are hidden among the booklet pages of this wannabe-masterpiece. Now more than ever, as Cthulhu famously said, you have no choice - Buy or Die!
The album was produced by Alessandro Del Vecchio (Toto, James LaBrie).
“Stairway to Valhalla” is unique voyage throughout many different metal-sub generes: each song has different style but at the same time it keeps track of Nanowar’s unique irony in the lyrics and catchiness in the melodies.
