Album Notes & Community Reviews

Pioneering the incredibly epic, fantasy-obsessed strain of US power metal, Manilla Road's third album is an underground triumph. Mark Shelton's distinctive nasal vocals narrate apocalyptic myths and sword-and-sorcery tales over highly energetic, galloping riffs and searing solos, cementing 'Crystal Logic' as a triumphant, deeply passionate heavy metal cult classic.
