MANOWAR: ‘Live At Earthshaker Fest 2005’ DVD Details Revealed

MANOWAR is scheduled to release a new DVD, entitled “Live At Earthshaker Fest 2005” on November 10.

On July 23, 2005, MANOWAR headlined the Earthshaker Fest 2005. This performance was a unique historical event, as it included a grand finale featuring MANOWAR members past and present on stage as one powerful, heavy metal legion as well as an epic set-up with a 200-piece choir and orchestra. The majesty and emotion of this event and the overwhelming reaction of more than 25.000 fans in attendance, serves as a fantastic example of the preeminence that MANOWAR embodies.

Accompanying this spectacular concert, the MANOWAR Mega Fan Convention itself was something to marvel at. Thousands of fans from countries across the globe converged on Geiselwind, Germany for three days of MANOWAR festivities. After witnessing the devotion and commitment of MANOWAR‘s fans, it is obvious why the band attests to having “the greatest fans in the world.”
