Hell on Wheels ( English for: " Hell on Wheels ") is the first live album by the US true metal band Manowar and was released in 1997 as a double CD.

Emergence

The live album was recorded and produced as part of the Hell on Wheels - World Tour 1996/1997 . It includes songs from over 12 countries that Manowar toured in 1996 and 1997. With the exception of a piano interlude and the sound collage Warriors of the World , all songs come from the regular Manowar albums.
