By the founding of the band Manowar Joey DeMaio brought in the early 1980s one of the world's most successful metal bands to life, which influenced both musically and stylistically this music genre. Nevertheless or just because DeMaio is considered one of the most controversial personalities within the genre.

DeMaio is responsible for almost all the lyrics of the band in addition to the composition. In terms of content, they are repeatedly criticized because the subject matter of the texts often consists of extreme violence (kill with power, All who stands in my way will die by steel). In addition, some songs are called sexist (Pleasure Slave).
