Manilla Road - Spiral Castle (ltd Black Vinyl) (Sealed) (LP)

"Spiral Castle" features the best songwriting this band has shown in a decade. After the opening lead track every song is a pounding, doomy crunchfest in high 'Road style. (Except for the closer "Sands Of Time" which is an instrumental played entirely on acoustic guitar and violin – see? I said this was a weird album.) The monster epic of the title track, the creepy "Shadow", the hypnotic "Seven Trumpets", the colossal ten-minute "Merchants Of Death" and the mystical "Born Upon The Soul" – there just are not any bad songs on this album, or even any average ones.
