Manowar is an American Heavy / Epic Metal band from Auburn, New York. Formed in 1980, the group is known for lyrics based on fantasy and mythology, particularly Norse mythology. With their loud and bombastic sound, Manowar has become one of the few bands that deliver big, epic metal drenched with crushing guitars, choirs, and orchestras.

In 1984, Manowar was included in the Guinness Book of World Records for delivering the loudest performance. They have since broken this record twice and also hold the world record for the longest heavy metal concert after playing for over 5 hours in Bulgaria in 2008. Despite not achieving mainstream commercial success in the United States, they have a strong cult following there while being extremely popular in Europe and South America.

The band's many innovations include being the first to incorporate sword & sorcery imagery into their lyrics and album covers as well as recording with Orson Welles. They were also among the first metal bands to record with an orchestra and design their own speaker cabinets and guitars. Additionally, they were pioneers of recording in Dolby 5.1 and promoting SACD (Super Audio Compact Disc).

Atlantic is a renowned US record label that was founded in 1947 by Ahmet Ertegun, Herb Abramson, and Miriam Abramson. Over the years, it has grown into one of the leading companies in the music industry, known for its commitment to artistry and quality. In 1967, Atlantic was purchased by Warner Bros. film studio and operated alongside ATCO Records as separate entities. The label continued to expand its influence when it acquired Elektra in 1970, forming the Warner-Elektra-Atlantic alliance.
Today, Atlantic remains a part of the Warner Music Group and forms the Atlantic Music Group along with Elektra, Rhino Records (2), Lava, and EastWest Records America. The label's iconic Saul Bass designed W logo was introduced in 1975. With a rich history spanning decades and an impressive roster of artists, Atlantic continues to be a powerhouse in the music industry.
Please note that some releases may have different catalog numbers or codes on their sleeves or labels which are not part of the official catalog number. Additionally, early releases had yellow labels until January 1956 when they switched to red labels. French singles and EPs also have distinct catalog number patterns based on genre.
