The guitarist Karl Logan was removed from Manowar after being charged with possession of child pornography, and the band announced its replacement – at least to complete the “Final Battle World Tour” tour, which runs through mid-2019.

It is E. V. Martel (Evandro Martel), who plays the only tribute band to Manowar officially sanctioned. “Musician since the age of eight and devoted to Manowar, Evandro is proud to know all the songs recorded by the band, and unites in his style a mix of all the guitarists who have already occupied this post beyond his own metal style,” says the official note.
“I cannot imagine anyone who deserves to play Manowar more than a fan who dedicated his life to our fans and our music, proving it to be a legitimate Manowarrior,” said Joey DeMaio. And Evandro completed: “I am honored and speechless to be able to play for the biggest fans in the world! I live the message of Manowar every day of my life: believe in yourself until your most insane dreams come true.”
I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
