4th album from 1985 by the legendary American band MANILLA ROAD, one of the key acts in Epic Heavy Metal. “Open the Gates” combines dense riffs, epic structures and a mystical, dark atmosphere, with a truly unique approach within traditional metal.
The album reinforces the band’s signature style, featuring extended compositions, a strong narrative sense and an unmistakable identity within 80s epic Heavy Metal.
Recommended for fans of CIRITH UNGOL, OMEN, BROCAS HELM and MANOWAR.
