The Road of MANILLA ROAD

If you are into traditional heavy metal, especially bands from the 80's golden era, you must at least heard the name - MANILLA ROAD, the one and only one unique, epic heavy metal bands from the United States that born actually in late 70's. They play a powerful mix of 70's hard rock and 80's traditional heavy metal, without the cheesy attitude of many bands at that time, they indeed wrote epic songs about mythology and history. On top of the brilliant music is the vocal performance of Mark Shelton, the vocalist that even broke his own vocal cord during live performance for the non-stop epicness of MANILLA ROAD's music.

MANILLA ROAD did released more than 10 full-length albums spanning from their 30 years of heavy metal career. And while the band did split up for some years, theie new albums still retained the spirit and the feeling of their old tunes without simply copy the old tunes and please the old fans. I am not the old fans at all, I can only tried their music when their vinyl albums got re-released by different record labels. Currently I have "The Deluge", "Open The Gates"(the best I think), "Crystal Logic" and "Spiral Castle". I will definitely get the other albums I don't have when I have the chance to do so.

If you are into like heavy metal that combine epicness and heaviness, just go check MANILLA ROAD out you are a poser!!!
