Epic Heavy/Power/Thrash MetalOne of the great cult metal bands from the eighties, Manilla Road still has a strong following, particularly in Europe. Isolated from the metal world in their home in Kansas, the trio (recently expanded to a quartet) have released an impressive array of albums over their career, all with a distinctively original sound. That sound consisted of gruff and nasal vocals, low-tuned, heavy guitar work, lyrics often delving into fantasy topics, and mostly slow to mid-paced riffing, with an emphasis on creating an epic feel to their works. Their subsequent albums Crystal Logic, Open the Gates and The Deluge are generally considered to be classics in the field of epic heavy metal. The band was quiet for most of the nineties, but band leader Mark Shelton revived the group in 2000, and the group continues to record and enjoy cult success.Atlantis Rising was released in 2001.Followed up with Spiral Castle in 2002. Then the monster epic masterpiece Gates of Fire album was released in 2004.Now it's never to late in 2008 to release what is already being notice as another epic classic from the most under-rated Gods of Epic Metal...Voyager. they continue to do what they want...and we fucking love it! Pick these guys up and enjoy!...The Road continues...
