Navigator<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Paul Di&#8217;Anno&#8217;s Warhorse:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe core of the band and founders are Paul Di&#8217;Anno, vocals, Hrvoje Madiraca, guitar and Ante Pupa\u010di\u0107 Pupi, guitar.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Andrews, a British singer better known by his stage name Paul Di\u2019Anno, his nearly half-century-long career began explosively with Iron Maiden, when with the EP \u2018The Soundhouse Tapes\u2019, and the albums \u2018Iron Maiden\u2019 and \u2018Killers \u2018 forever cemented the foundations of heavy metal. With timeless hits like \u2018Iron Maiden\u2019, \u2018Remember Tomorrow\u2019, \u2018Running Free\u2019, \u2018Phantom of the Opera\u2019, \u2018Killers\u2019, \u2018Wratchild\u2019, Murders in the Rue Morgue\u2019, \u2018Purgatory\u2019 etc., they influenced numerous musicians and bands and were responsible for the creation or development of many subgenres in metal music.<\/p>\n<p id=\"isPasted\" class=\"default\">Paul\u00a0was\u00a0known as one of the most productive singers, who\u00a0had\u00a0a huge number of albums and other releases behind him, either as a solo artist or a member of bands such as Gogmagog, Di\u2019Anno\u2019s Battlezone, Praying Mantis, Killers, Architects of Chaoz or Warhorse. In all his incarnations, Paul always knew how to find a way to the fans, with numerous hits, uncompromising singing, which\u00a0was\u00a0confirmed by his successful career and furious live shows around the world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default\">This icon of heavy metal with the heart of a punk rock rebel never spared himself in his life, but he always gave everything for music and fans, which is why they have followed him faithfully for almost fifty years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default\">Warhorse\u00a0was\u00a0the\u00a0final\u00a0original band\/project of Paul Di\u2019Anno. The first idea of forming a band arose in December 2021, when Paul and guitarist Hrvoje Madiraca met in Zagreb, Croatia. The formation and naming of this project happened simultaneously with the writing and recording of new songs, which were started immediately after Paul and Hrvoje joined hands and thus formed the band. Warhorse independently released the DVD single \u2018Stop the War\u2019 in a limited edition of 666 copies and sold it out in just a few days. This was followed by the fantastic \u2018Stop the War\u2019\u00a0lyric\u00a0video, which delighted fans around the world. The Warhorse project gathered fantastic guest musicians on some songs. The core of the band itself is the three \u2018horsemen\u2019 Paul Di\u2019Anno \u2013 vocals, Hrvoje Madiraca \u2013 guitars and Ante Pupa\u010di\u0107 Pupi \u2013 Guitars.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default\">Paul Dianno, a true original, never forgotten!<\/p>\n<p><strong>About BraveWords Records:<\/strong><br \/>\nThere is a serious void which desperately needs to be filled, hard-working and creative bands that have yet to find a partnership and a mutual vision with a professional team.
