Hail to England is Manowar's third album which was released in 1984. The album title is a tribute to the country that the American band members met and formed the band in, and in particular the predominantly British NWOBHM that had emerged in the early 1980s. The album was also reported to have been recorded in its entirety in only six days. The album peaked at No. 13 on the UK charts. The album actually features the flag of the United Kingdom on the front cover, and not the flag of England. In 2017, Rolling Stone ranked Hail to England as 87th on their list of 'The 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time.'

Laugh all you want at their absurd macho posturing and "death to false metal" hootenanny, but with 1984's Hail to England, New York's Manowar delivered one of the quintessential power metal albums of all time. Yes, tales of war and conquest like "Army of the Immortals" and "Hail to England" are patently absurd from a lyrical standpoint, but how far do they honestly exceed, say, Iron Maiden's worse transgressions? Musically, bassist Joey DeMaio and guitarist Ross the Boss are in top songwriting form here, finding the perfect blend of old-school metal and thrash intensity (power metal defined) -- all of it executed with incredible technical skill, and, believe it or not, heartfelt conviction. This is heavy metal, kids, warts and all. Along with the tracks mentioned above, Hail to England also finds the self-appointed metal warriors unleashing an absolute classic with "Blood of my Enemies"; possibly their finest epic composition ever in "Bridge of Death"; and their best all-out thrasher, the awesome and positively hysterical "Kill With Power." And who else could concoct a sonic curiosity like "Black Arrows," a DeMayo solo performed on piccolo bass at blinding speed following a spoken intro of gut-busting hilarity. Do not be frightened, this is indeed Manowar's finest hour.
