Manowar | Sign of the Hammer | Album

Released in October 1984, Sign of the Hammer is widely regarded as a pinnacle of Manowar’s "classic" era, successfully blending their early heavy metal grit with the epic, Viking-themed power metal that would define their later career. Critics often point to this album as one of the band's most consistent and creatively focused efforts. "Thor (The Powerhead)" is frequently cited as a classic of the genre, with some critics crediting it as the birth of "Viking Metal" due to its thunderous riffs and Norse mythology themes.
