Other Bands Play, Nanowar Gay!

There is not much to say here. If you haven't checked out NanowaR yet, you're missing one of the best parodies of heavy metal.

Awesome musicianship, goddamn hilarious lyrics and great ideas make them second to none, not even established artist like Knorkator or J.B.O.

Definately a 'must-load'.

Truly, if there were a soundtrack for the words "Iron, Steel, and Epic," NanowaR would make up at least a third of that album.

Boldness is the key here. Not willing to merely touch upon all the usual cliches of this over-the-top metal-smackdown... NanowaR truly take these concepts to the next level and toss in a few new concepts that will surely rock the iron foundation of heavy metal. Tricycles? The number of the bitch? Truly pioneers of our time!

I docked it a point for its distinct lack of Odin references in the lyrics. But otherwise, this is true, pure, epic, unabashed, bombastic, powerful, straight-up Iron, Steel, and Tungsten!

Nanowar is, by far, the best metal parody I've never listen. I'd like them to make newer albums, but it seems that there's no other work afther this one on Jamendo. It's a pity. :-(

Anyway this album is AWESOME. :-)

Nanowar is just fantastic. The best parody metal band ever.

This is essentially Spinal Tap, but updated a little bit. Plenty of talent, great humour.

deserves to do well. One of my next projects is producing a new metal act, so I'm trying to get myself into the vibe (i'm from folk/dance & r&b)

There's also hints of Queen in here, particularly the Brian May style harmonised guitars.

I'm now practically teetotal (reformed alcoholic) but this is the stuff that would sound really great after two or three cans of Tennant's Lunatic Soup.

Full of chiches yes, but I particularly like the joining bits between the metal tracks..

and I love the fiddle (or is it a Gizomotron?)
