Shark: You know that difference of opinion has been something we deal with for every release that we put out. Some of our fans think that the era with Rick Fisher and Scott Park was the days of our best music. Others think it was with Randy Foxe and Scott Park. Some say that Open The Gates was our best. Some say The Deluge. Our newer fans seem to appreciate Atlantis Rising and Gates Of Fire or Voyager as our best works. It is different for everyone. Let"s face it we have ventured into so many realms of different styles with our albums that all of them may not appeal to everyone but there always seems to be at least one album that does appeal or maybe even more. It"s hard to make everyone happy all at once and since we have been doing this for so long I think a lot of people expect us to pull off miracles every album. We try to do our very best on every project but at the same time I will always follow my instincts and not change my music because of reviews or the opinions of a few people. I am sure that everyone can tell by now that Manilla Road does not exist just to make money. As a matter of fact if that was the case Manilla Road would not still be around because I don"t have a mansion or a million dollars in my bank account. It"s all about the music and the brotherhood of metal and nothing more. Yes it would be nice to have the mansion and the million dollars but for me I am rich in the way that it really matters. That is I am rich because of the fans and supporters that have shared so many fantastic times with us when we play live and the love of our supporters is the greatest wealth that one could ever experience. There will always be differing opinions about our music and our new releases but that is just the nature of the beast. As long as I have anything to do with the music and the production Manilla Road will always sound different from any other band on the planet and I think that is how it should be. Why the hell would I want to sound like everyone else.

Je ne peux même pas surligner une phrase de ce que dit Mark, tellement le texte en entier est beau ! Voilà c'est cet esprit que j'aime. Bon certains connaissent déjà un peu le personnage, rien n'est étonnant mais c'est tellement la classe de voir cela écrit noir sur blanc de la part d'un artiste que je respecte énormément pour toutes ces raisons évoquées justement dans sa réponse.

il passe très très bien cet album au final même si la production est vintage pour être poli. Je l'avais écouté en meupeutroa avant sa sortie CD et là avec le vrai CD c'est quand même moins pire si j'ose l'expression.

L'album est néanmoins très bon et je prends grand plaisir à l'écouter même si je préférais les 2 derniers (surtout "gates of fire" d'ailleurs).

Kiss of Death · Message par **Kiss of Death** » 29 sept. 2011, 21:01

J'aime beaucoup cet album, le chant colle vraiment mieux à la musique cette fois çi, Hellroadie a été un peu mis au placard et Shelton, même avec sa voix d'aujourd'hui, c'est quand même autre chose. De très bon riffs, de grandes ambiances et des solos toujours aussi jouissifs. C'est evidemment plus mid tempo que The Deluge ou Mystification mais à part un ou deux titres un peu moyens, pour le reste l'esprit Epic Metal est bel et bien là, irremplacable.

merci de la news ! C'est vrai que l'ancien site officiel avait été abandonné depuis ma grand mère.

Je vois pas trop de nos jours pour un groupe la valeur ajoutée d'un site par rapport à une page facebook ou autres, au niveau informatif et interactivité en tout cas mais il a le mérite d'exister !

Tiens je vais me le réécouter ce Manilla Road nouveau en lisant la biographie sur le site qui m'a l'air top glucose.

C'est personnalisé à l'univers du groupe ? Le contenu n'est pas noyé dans la pub ? Ce n'est pas la peine de s'inscrire pour y avoir accès ?

En parlant de ce site officiel, il y a quelques petites nouvelles que je recopie ici :

As for the band it has been a couple of years of chaos that have been a real test for the Road. When we started working on the Playground of the Damned recordings Vince was playing Bass for us, and doing a great job at it also. Vince was one of the best live showmen that I have ever shared a stage with. And his bass playing is rather special also. Unfortunately after he had recorded only two songs with us in Midgard Sound Labs he developed a physical problem with his left hand that was making it impossible for him to play at the time. He was already dealing with an inner ear disorder that was making it difficult for him to travel and tour with us so the hand thing was like the straw that broke the camels back for Vince. He decided to bow out gracefully and not make the band wait for him to recover (which was an unknown amount of time). So all of a sudden we did not have a bass player to finish the album with. I was already starting to work on a side project with a friend of mine that plays keyboards and bass and has been a horror writer at times. His name is Ernest Cunningham Hellwell but he goes by E.C. Hellwell. So I asked him if he would be interested in doing the rest of the bass parts on the new Manilla Road album and he agreed to do so but did not want to tour with the Road because of other obligations including, but not limited to, our side project that we are calling Hellwell. So E.C. Finished the album with us but we were still faced with needing a bass player for our live shows. So enters our savior Joshua Castillo. We did a show with him back in November in Wichita at a cool place called The Port of Wichita and it was a sellout crowd and Josh did a stellar first show performance with us. So he earned his spurs or his wings, whichever metaphor you prefer. So Josh will be playing live with us and most likely be on the next Manilla Road album as well. Unfortunately Cory is also having some personal issues in his life right now that are keeping him from being able to tour also so we are only doing one show this year and that is the Epic Night at the Hammer of Doom festival in Germany the last part of October 2011. Andreas Neuderth of the bands Viron and Roxxcalibur will be drumming for us at that show and we will be primarily doing older Manilla Road songs from Crystal Logic to Mystification and maybe a song from Courts of Chaos thrown in as well as a couple of songs off the new album. But most of the show will be from Crystal, Open the Gates, Deluge and Mystification. I think maybe we are doing a song from the Metal album also.

Neudi, le batteur de ROXXCALIBUR, VIRON, etc, qui avait assuré sa mère le remplacement de Cory Taylor lors du concert du dernier HAMMER OF DOOM avec MANILLA ROAD est le nouveau batteur du groupe!

I still can´t believe what I will write right now...: I AM THE NEW DRUMMER IN MANILLA ROAD!
Today I got the ok from Mark Shelton to announce it and this what I do right now. When I was asked to play the Hammer Of Doom Show in October 2011, this was already a highlight in my carrere as a drummer. Playing a show in my alltime-favorite band - how can you beat that?? Now Mark, Bryan Patrick and Joshua Castillo did it: They made me the permanent drummer in Manilla Road!

I already have some experience in playing with some of my favorite bands. Griffin or Savage Grace, all the guests from the NWOBHM that have appeared on stage when we´ve played with Roxxcalibur. But everybody who knows me and who have read interviews I gave during the last years knows about my addiction to Manilla Road that started 25 years back when Black Dragon Records sent me "The Deluge" to show it off in my local cable TV-show. Since then there was no month without at least listening to one of their (oh my god...I can now say "our") CDs/LPs. And there was that little fan-homepage I did in the late 90s when MR weren´t active. Meeting the guys at Bang Your Head...then meeting them again at KIT and HOA. Moments I will never forget.

But 15 year old me owning "The Deluge" had another impact: The incredible drumming of Randy Foxe - along with Ian Paice and Neil Peart my favorite drummer and a huge influence that some may notice in my drumming, no matter if it´s Viron, Roxxcalibur or my earlier bands like Economist. Straight drumming is cool, but it´s overrated *lol*

But all this is not as important as the people in the band. After a few seconds with the Road, when meeting four days before HOD to rehearse, I felt like meeting old friends. It felt like being a part of a family. And I have missed the guys already on Sunday after Hammer of Doom... and I can´t wait to meet them again!

Wichita/Kansas and Gimbsheim/Germany? How can that work out? It will!!

It´s December already and 2011 was a blast. Griffin at Keep It True, release of the 2nd Roxxcalibur CD/DVD and finally with Manilla Road at Hammer of Doom. Being asked to join Manilla Road (you´ve never seen me replying any faster!!!) is the beginning of something I can´t discribe at all and the best X-Mas present I have ever got!

I hope that I will be accepted by all the MR-fans wordwide!
HEAVY METAL TO THE WORLD!!!

Cheerz,
A happy Neudi!

Et des nouvelles de Mark Shelton datées du 10 décembre.

Il a formé un groupe du nom de MISKATONIA avec d'anciens camarades de hard rock qui avaient déjà bossé avec lui sur "atlantis rising" et "spiral castle". Ca devrait être orienté doom.

Et il a aussi enregistré un album du nom de HELLWELL, dans l'esprit MANILLA ROAD mais un peu plus agressif et avec des synthés.

December 10, 2011
Hail all ye Brethren of the Hammer,
First of all I would like to thank each and every one of you, that have checked out this new site and come to support Manilla Road. You have all made the launch of manillaroad.net a great success. Once again I wish to extend a hearty welcome to anyone visiting the site for the first time and remind all of you that this is the true official website for Manilla Road. We are running this site ourselves so you are insured that if you purchase anything from manillaroad.net that the proceeds will be going directly to the running of this site and helping build the Manillan Empire.
Even though we have just released a new album (Playground of the Damned) we are already back in the studio working on new material. As a matter of fact the studio (Midgard Sound Labs) has been just pumping out the tunes for the last month. We are working on several projects at once and it is a really glorious time for us all in the Manilla Camp. I will give you a bit of a run down of what we are working on: First of all I am working on a band project called Miskatonia with ex-Manilla Road members Scott Peters and Mark Anderson. You might remember them from our Atlantis Rising and Spiral Castle releases. Anderson is writing the riffs and some of the lyrics and I am writing the vocal parts and some of the lyric content also. Scott Peters is doing the drums and I am singing all the vocal parts. It is very doom like and does not really sound like MR but it is cool music and I am honored to be working with these guys again on this project. Next I would like to tell you about a new band that I have formed with E.C. Hellwell called Hellwell. I have spoke of this before but would like to let you all know that the first album is completely recorded and mixed and we are now working on the mastering and the artwork for the release. It should be out on High Roller and Shadow Kingdom come the Spring of 2012. This is somewhat like MR but with synthesizer and keyboards added. It is a very heavy and aggressive project and we are all very pumped about this one. It is one of those type of projects that I really love every single cut on the project. Keep an eye out here at manillaroad.net for more details as we approach the release date. We are also working on new songs for the next Manilla Road album as well and so far all the stuff we have come up with is totally cool and I am so excited to be working on new MR music again.
As you have most likely already seen we have some shirts up for sale on the site now and there will be more styles to come in the near future. We are looking to continue to add different styles to the merchandise page as time goes on. Once again rest assured that everything that you get from this site is official MR merch and not bootleg.
I will be continuing to post updates here to let you all know what is going on in the Manilla Camp as time goes on. We are currently working on scheduling tour dates for 2012 and I will let you all know those secured dates as they are confirmed. Thank you all for your undying support of Manilla Road and May The Lords Of Light Be With You!
Up The Hammers & Down The Nails
Mark The Shark Shelton

Cool j'avais bien aimé ces albums parfois plus doom justement (surtout Spiral Castle) et le jeu du batteur en particulier, je suis curieux de les entendre à nouveau ensemble pour doomer.

idem, j'ai hate d'entendre ça, certaines ambiances d'Atlantis Rising et Spiral Castle étaient tout simplement excellentes. Que ce soit plus doom ou avec des synthés, de toutes façons avec Shelton ça restera du pur metal.
