Our Take

Manilla Road's "Open The Gates" reissue on purple/bone splatter vinyl is a nostalgic trip down heavy metal memory lane. The iconic band's 1985 album is a perfect blend of epic storytelling and face-melting riffs.

From the moment you drop the needle on this psychedelic swirl of coloured vinyl, you're transported to a realm of swords, sorcery, and shredding guitar solos. Mark "The Shark" Shelton's distinctive vocals soar over thunderous drums and intricate guitar work, creating a sonic landscape that is both thrilling and immersive.

Tracks like "Metalström" and the title track "Open The Gates" showcase Manilla Road at their best – ambitious and unapologetically metal. The reissue includes a bonus poster, making it a must-have for any die-hard fan or vinyl collector.

While some may write off Manilla Road as a relic of a bygone era, "Open The Gates" proves that their music is timeless. This reissue serves as a reminder of why the band remains a cult favourite among metalheads worldwide.

In conclusion, "Open The Gates" on purple/bone splatter vinyl is a must-have for any metal aficionado looking to add a touch of retro cool to their collection. So go ahead, crank up the volume, and let Manilla Road transport you to a world where the gates are wide open and the riffs are never-ending.
