EVERY Slough Feg is a step down from Traveller. You heard me. :kickass:


You took the words out of my mouth. I'm glad at least you are in agreement with me Ali. :kickass:

On a sidenote, I really cannot fucking wait to hear this new Manilla Road release. Also, once I get paid by this dude for my Mental Home cd's, I'm gonna be placing an order with ya Evil Legend. :headbang:
 
Cheers. I really appreciate the support. I should have my site up soon.. so I won't have to bother with bumping my thread everytime I stock something.

Large orders are encouraged in the USA. Shipping is as cheap as I can make it.
 
Crystal Logic is one of the best albums I've heard in my fucking LIFE! Thank you VERY MUCH, Tim, for turning me on to Manilla Road!! Some people say it's derivative of 70s Priest and classic rock in general, but fuck them!

Also, my Legend - From the Fjords LP showed up today, and it's pretty cool! It does sound before its time! Slough Feg totally improved "The Wizard's Vengeance" though, at least in the vocal department!
 
No problem. Like I said, MANILLA ROAD - Crystal Logic is my favorite album of ALL-TIME and I think you're starting to realize why. You can hear influences from the 70's METAL, IRON MAIDEN / ANGEL WITCH.. etc.

I highly recommend anyone out there to get the LP (BRAND NEW AND SEALED) from me, because it will probably be a very special album for you if you're into this style of music. There will be a day when I'm all out of these...

By the way, is it just me or do Terry Jones (Pagan Altar) and Mark Shelton (Manilla Road) sound pretty fucken similar?

I hear the similarity on Mark Of The Beast. Shelton has more range...

Yeah, it's funny because Shelton has that extreme Californian nasal drawl, and Jones is trying to sound as American as possible. Both extremely 'nasal' vocalists.
 
Still got some of the same strange quality to his voice! My vote between them is Mark "The Shark" Shelton for a long shot, even considering the funny nickname :loco:
 
Out of the three in debate. I'd go with Shelton. He has the most talent vocally... where Jones and Scalzi are more unique sounding with lesser ranges.

What about Baltech's Lament?!?!?!??!!

Good range there, probably my favorite song on that album, but not as good as SHELTON (Overall) IMO. I'm not taking anything away from Jones and Scalzi cause they're top shelf too!
 
I'm so short on Manilla Road. I only have Crystal Logic and Mark of the Beast (nothing downloaded or in sample format). That's why I'm keen to hear Open the Gates and The Deluge, and I rushed to my mailbox today.....to find nothing. :(
