The Lord of Steel is the eleventh studio album of the American heavy metal band Manowar.

It was first released as a download on June 16, 2012 and the limited-edition pre-release special edition CD of the British heavy metal magazine Metal Hammer on June 26, 2012.

It marks a change in the band's sound,[citation needed] moving away from the symphonic sound of Gods of War and going back to the style of Louder than Hell with the production quality of Thunder in the Sky.

[citation needed] The song "El Gringo" was used in the credits of the 2011 film of the same name.
