Majesty  

It's pretty obvious where this German band was headed, judging from their album covers and titles (Keep It True, indeed!). Bombastic, anthemic, and, er, majestic, late-period Manowar worship was the order of the day here, and a simple glance at their song titles imply they weren't interested in broadening their horizons (six albums in, and there are still song titles like "Heavy Metal Desire", "March For Victory", "Fight Forever", and so forth). To their credit, Manowar themselves are still a huge draw in Europe and these guys captured that spirit pretty well. In July 2008 the band announced its breakup, with vocalist/mainman Tarek Maghary starting up a new band called Metalforce. Initially the lineup was the same as that of Majesty, though that changed by the time an album was recorded in 2009. Finally, Maghary decided to switch back to Majesty in the spring of 2011.
