I chose Gates of Fire to showcase the direction that Manilla Road has been going the past 10 years. And yes, all 4 Cirith Ungol albums are excellent.
The Triumph Of Steel is amazing, but I pretty much agree. Not just better, much better. That's no slight against Accept or King Diamond though.
Eh, I just can't agree with that, I love Slough Feg, fantastic band, but they're just not better than Accept or King Diamond, especially Accept.
Fair enough. Nothing those 2 bands have done have had any kind of long-lasting impact on me, also Slough Feg's music is much more interesting to me.
Agreed. I only like the first two King Diamond albums though, Accept definitely has quantity over them.
If Them had the production of the adjacent albums and didn't end on a weakish note it would be about on par with his best.
I mean, I don't think it really ended anyways so... Speaking of that, go check out the new Eternal Champion album. It's fucking amazing.
if you like cheesy not so heavy power metal, ya, but not really missing much. Anything but dissident is at least average in that scope
Sounds a little Omen-ous but not hearing an exact copy anywhere. That song sounds pretty fucking awesome though, these retro-trad bands have really figures out how too emulate a kvlt oldschool demo sound.
I put these songs up because there is nowhere else to hear this on the web. I have mentioned it a lot and I think some other people here might dig it too. I won't put up anything else because this many songs is enough to decide if you want to buy it.
