"Spiral castle" CD od Manilla Road

When the epic metal band MANILLA ROAD from Wichita, Kansas, emerged in the year 2000 with a new album and a performance at the Bang Your Head Festival, it was a real sensation for the underground scene, which is much bigger today than it was back then. Even though the new lineup sounded different from the two lineups of the Eighties, the band, led by mastermind MARK SHELTON, remained true to their style. This also suited the then-new underground label IRON GLORY (later BATTLE CRY), who made important albums like 'Crystal Logic' available on CD. However, the 2000s were also characterized by Mark Shelton's own recording studio, MIDGARD SOUND LABS, where a very unique, sometimes polarizing sound was produced. MANILLA ROAD were an active band during this decade, but they did not play long Tours or leave the underground scene when it came to festivals until before 2012. During these years, relatively raw albums were created, which are now beloved by younger MANILLA ROAD fans. 'Spiral Castle' from 2002 usually tops the list. Just over 20 years later, the first remastered CD version of this album is now available. An original master CDR from the recording studio was used as the source. For true fans, there are also some bonus tracks, privately recorded at a small club in Italy in 2002. The booklet contains liner notes, lyrics, and rare photos as usual.
