Manilla Road - 'Atlantis Rising' (Iron Glory)

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Good 2001 comeback effort {after almost ten years} from Wichita, Kansas power metal band Manilla Road. I had recently caught these guys playing a club in Kansas City, MO - after remember catching them in an even smaller hole-in-the-wall just over twenty years ago. Tunes here that had me sit up and take notice were "Megalodon", title track "Atlantis Rising", "March Of The Gods" and the acoustic well-written "Flight Of The Ravens". Didn't realize they were now a four piece but here's this CD's line-up: founder Mark {The Shark} Shelton-guitar & vocals, Bryan Patrick-lead vocals, Mark Anderson-bass and Scott Peters-drums. Might appeal to fans of Testament, Powermad (anyone even remember those guys?), Budgie, Metal Church and possibly Iron Maiden or even early Scorpions."
