MANILLA ROAD - The Deluge LP (Black Vinyl)

The Deluge is such a unique album, even by Manilla Road’s standards, where every album sounds extremely distinct. This sets the standard for all metal that goes on to release after it. It’s elegant, poignant, with a sprinkle of divinity and mystery, it’s all the fancy adjectives I love to throw around. If this album doesn’t get you invested in this band, then you probably shouldn’t even bother with them. This is Manilla Road at their absolute peak (of LSD use) and it should be heralded as nothing less than perfection.
