Manilla Road are one of the best heavy metal bands, period. Everything heavy metal should be -- amazing guitar, epic vocals/lyrical themes, solid drumming/bass -- this band has. They're one of those bands that is able to completely encompass the genre they're in. It's a far cry from the black metal/crust stuff I've been posting lately, and if you're not a fan of "classic" metal, steer clear of this. However, if you're even someone who can casually enjoy an Iron Maiden album, you need to hear this. I really don't know how else to describe them other than that they released some of the BEST heavy metal/NWOBHM of the 1980s, and if you haven't heard it yet, you're missing out! They have a ton of great material, but these two albums are some of the best known -- and the best sounding, if ya ask me.
