Info:
The lyrical aspects of the album are just absolutely top-notch and interesting; some of the best Manilla Road has to offer. Musically, it's everything you can expect if you're familiar with the outstanding musicianship that's present in the Manilla Road discography. Complete with the unbelievably flexible riffs of Mark Shelton which provides the band with a vintage sound even if they've had a complete line-up change since their earlier works. Some things of note about Gates of Fire are that Mark Shelton has stepped down as his role for lead vocals, allowing Bryan (Hellroadie) Patrick to replace him. The Shark kicks in to accompany Hellroadie for the lower notes and the chorus. Also, that the production is rough (which is what's expected in a Manilla Road album) but the drums sound sometimes a bit thin.
