1986 was the year when Thrash Metal was starting to get really big - the big four (Megadeth,
Metallica, Anthrax and Slayer) were beginning to crack the mainstream market, which left no room
for an Epic Metal band like Manilla Road. So the year 2014 is the ideal time to re-discover one of
the best Metal albums of the 1980s (on glorious vinyl). -

The Deluge is dedicated to all the fans that have kept Manilla Road alive for more than 3 decades. The Deluge is one of the most important albums that Manilla Road did in the 80's.

This GC remaster contains exclusive bonus material. It's hard to say which Manilla Road album is the best, because they all are, but this record is probably the peak of their classic period. The drums are a bit higher in the mix, but when you have Randy Foxe on drums it's understandable. RIP Mark Shelton. Up the Hammers.
