Album Notes & Community Reviews

Expanding their epic, heavily mythological brand of heavy metal, Manilla Road embraced the frantic speed and technical aggression of the burgeoning thrash movement on 'The Deluge'. Mark Shelton's incredibly complex, neoclassical guitar solos and distinctive, nasal vocals bring to life a sprawling conceptual narrative about the fall of Atlantis. It is a deeply passionate, heavy, and highly ambitious underground metal triumph.
