Manilla Road - Invasion

1980
      The second song has a strong Stranglehold vibe and of course all the soloing on the album brings to mind Double Live Gonzo, but there's a mellower element that reminds me of Uli Jon Roth. Then there is the folky mystical vibe. It's all wrapped up in a style that reminds me, in style, of all the forgotten NWOBHM bands that might have only were able to put out a seven inch or maybe a record, then faded away. The production values on this are super raw, which I don't mind at all. The band is raw on this, there first release.
      It's in between stuff like Rainbow and the whole NWOBHM. This is so early in the game though it's like he's starting his own thing
