Spiral Castle is the twelfth album by American heavy metal band Manilla Road, released in 2002 by Iron Glory Records.
Production and reception
Although Atlantis Rising had been released under the name Manilla Road, it had actually been intended as a Mark Shelton solo project, while Spiral Castle was actually the first album released by the newly reformed Manilla Road.[1]
It was praised by Eduardo Rivadavia of AllMusic for continuing with the "majestic metal" of their album two years prior, Atlantis Rising. Lyrics are laced with fantasy references, including Norse mythology references such as Ragnarok and Bifrost.[2] Metal.de gave it a mixed review, calling it a solid disc, but not with the full energy as the band's earlier albums.[1]
