XX Years of Steel - Digisleeve 3- CD

"Italy’s parody metal masters, Nanowar of Steel, are set to release their live album, XX Years of Steel, on December 6, 2024, via Napalm Records! Captured during their sold-out, 3,000 attendee show at Alcatraz, Milano in October 2023, this monumental live release celebrates two decades of blending humor and metal and elevates with special guest appearances. The new offering not only presents strong live versions of 28 original tracks, but even includes a 9-track bonus CD including two brand-new studio tracks that showcase NANOWAR OF STEEL’s continuous evolution and unique style.
With millions of cross-platform streams and views on their hilariously entertaining music videos, NANOWAR OF STEEL have captivated audiences worldwide with their multilingual talent, distinctive blend of humor and cultural insight. XX Years of Steel kicks off with a tongue-in-cheek Italian introduction that humorously reinterprets the Book of Genesis, setting the stage for a night full of metal mayhem and laughter. Fans can expect live renditions of the band’s most iconic tracks, such as “Norwegian Reggaeton”, which sees Charly Glamour (Gigatron) adding his explosive energy to the reggaeton-infused metal anthem. The crowd’s electric enthusiasm reaches its peak during “Valhalleluja”, where Odin himself (Thomas Winkler of Angus McSix) leads the charge, and during “Uranus” with fans’ chants echoing through the venue.
Adding to the excitement, XX Years of Steel introduces two brand-new tracks, including the stormy power metal anthem “Stormwarrior Of The Storm” which rages with fierce riffs, powerful vocals and an homage to the art of weather forecasting. The innovative “HelloWorld.java” inspired by the history of coding, offers a playful yet complex narrative that showcases the band’s versatility. The new offering also blends special cover versions such as popular German party hit “Das Rote Pferd”, the hilarious Iron Maiden parody, “Afraid to Shoot into the Eyes of a Stranger in a Strange Land” and the sudatory “Armpits Of Immortals”, enhanced from the likes of Ross The Boss (Manowar).
XX Years of Steel is more than just a greatest hits collection—it’s a testament to NANOWAR OF STEEL’s enduring appeal and their ability to unite metalheads through laughter and killer riffs. It is the ultimate celebration of their journey so far, and whether you’re a longtime fan or new to their unique brand of parody metal, it’s a must-have for anyone who loves metal with a twist. Prepare to laugh, headbang, and join the metal party of the year!"
