Fantastic cult metal from Manilla Road. This one is much heavier than Crystal Logic, and a bit less "epic." It works out wonderfully, with the riffs taking forefront, and the music being much more powerful.

oproti predošlému o niečo tvrdšie, stále sa však pohybujúce v heavy/power na metalovom žánre

Cool trad metal with a tinge of power metal to it. Good memorable riffs from time to time. The sucky vocals sound quite fun after a few listens.
