I will never forget the first time I heard Manilla Road.
It was near the end of grade 9 and my first "real" girlfriend had dumped me, so I decided to skip school and hang out and blaze with some older friends in high school. I met up with them and we were walking through an alley, when my one friend Dean said he had to grab something from his house. All the way we were walking, my other friend had been raving about this "old school heavy metal Heaven and Hell worship" band he had found, and while waiting out in the alley, he plugged his earphones into my ears. The gnarliest fucking riff I have ever heard blared into my ears - it was "Necropolis," and like that, my Manilla Road cherry was popped.
Manilla Road is just a really awesome, straight up heavy metal band with hard rock influences, sci fi/fantasy lyrics, and riffs that never leave your mind. It's a bit different then what I normally post but if your open minded, I highly recomend them. All of they're later work is just as great (if a bit more progressive,) but this is my personal favorite album they did if only because of "Necropolis." Give it a whirl!
