Take a peek behind the scenes of Manowar’s “Sign Of The Hammer” re-recordings

A behind-the-scenes video from the recording sessions for the re-recorded version of Manowar’s fourth studio album, “Sign Of The Hammer,” which commemorated its 40th anniversary in 2024, has been made public by bassist Joey DeMaio.

I know many of you have been waiting with fire in your hearts for the re-recorded ‘Sign Of The Hammer’ — and we can’t wait to share it with you! First, let me say this: your patience does not go unnoticed, and your loyalty continues to inspire me and the rest of the band every single day. You deserve nothing less than perfection. Truth is, between tour prep and touring, I’m in the process of re-recording my bass tracks for the third time. That’s right — three times. Why? Because when you are on a quest for the most powerful sound — a sound worthy of the Greatest Fans In The World — you fight, you sweat, you bleed, and you push yourself past the limits. That’s what it takes. THAT’S THE MANOWAR WAY. I’m proud to tell you that I’ve finally found the sound — the bass tone that cuts through like roaring thunder, that shakes the earth like the hammer of the gods! It’s there. It’s real. And it’s coming. In the meantime, I’m giving you a raw, unedited, unfiltered behind-the-scenes look straight from the studio, agonizing over one note at a time until I’m completely satisfied. Because you’re not just fans — you’re our Brothers and Sisters in Arms — we want you to know what it takes to forge true metal. Stay strong. Stay loud. And know that this hammer will strike — loud and hard, strong and fast! Hail and Kill!
