Hail to England is the third studio album by American heavy metal band Manowar, released in 1984 by Music for Nations.
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. However, the album's cover actually features the flag of the United Kingdom, and not the flag of England.
The album was reported to have been recorded in only six days. It peaked at No. 83 on the UK album charts. In 2017, Rolling Stone ranked Hail to England as 87th on their list of the 100 greatest metal albums,[1] and Loudwire ranked it as the 17th-best power metal album.[2] In 2019, Metal Hammer ranked it as the fourth-best power metal album.[3]
A remixed and remastered 'Imperial Edition' of the album was released in 2019, with the band stating that the revised version would add 'the depth, the power and the clarity that could not be present in the original mixes and masters' .[4]
