Manilla Road
Invasion
Genre: Prog Metal
3.25 out of 5
Has there ever been a band so poorly named as Manilla Road? Perhaps. I mean, there’s always gonna be Hoobastank. But Manilla Road sounds like a brand of cookie. I only know Manilla as a type of folder. I don’t even know why it’s a folder. Maybe there’s a Manilla Road in Kansas. Which is where this shredgressive band is from.
The lead singer sounds like he desperately adores Lemmy and is doing his damnedest Kilmeister impression.
These are more jams that sounds steeped in the 70s ala Grand Funk Railroad but that doesn’t mean they are bad, just that Manilla Folder is updating a sound.
There are some embarrassingly terrible moments like “Centurian War Games” but there’s also some dynamic rawk.
