About

Nanowar of Steel (stylised as NanowaR of Steel by the band) is an Italian power metal band. Their name is a pun on the metal bands Manowar and Rhapsody of Fire, and represents their tendency to satirize "true metal", the primary focus of their music. Their work mainly aims to make humorous references to and jokes about the genre, often parodying the way in which power metal bands are perceived to take themselves very seriously.

In 2006, the band changed their name from Nanowar to Nanowar of Steel, as a parody of the Italian power metal band Rhapsody changing their name to Rhapsody of Fire after a legal dispute. On their logo, the "of Steel" part was made to look like it was quickly and carelessly scribbled behind the main name as an afterthought.

Nanowar of Steel est un groupe de power metal italien, originaire de Rome. Le nom de leur groupe est une déformation de Manowar, célèbre groupe de heavy metal. Ils présentent une version humoristique et satirique d'un genre où la musique et les paroles présente habituellement un contenu sérieux ou épique. Le groupe se fait connaître grâce au bouche-à-oreille sur Internet.

Le nom de leur groupe change par la suite, passant de Nanowar à Nanowar of Steel, pour imiter le groupe de heavy speed metal symphonique Rhapsody (désormais Rhapsody of Fire). Ils effectuent également des reprises satiriques de grands classiques du heavy metal : Master of Pizza (parodie de Master of Puppets de Metallica), Emerald Fork (Emerald Sword, de Rhapsody of Fire), The Number of the Bitch (The Number of the Beast, de Iron Maiden)...
