Music like Nanowar of Steel

Nanowar of Steel is a comedy heavy metal band from Rome, Italy. 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.
