anyone on this list (other than Scott Heller) ever hear Manilla Road? They
were from Kansas and released albums all thoughout the '80s on a French label
(the villainous Black Dragon) and their own label. Quiet in the '90s though
they've reformed again. Really the best '80s metal band besides Maiden, no
kiddin'. Not a "hair band" by any means. Not a Cirith Ungol situation. Their
main dude Mark Shelton is a *very* serious scholar of Arthur, Atlantis,
Lovecraft, Poe, Occult, etc. I truly believe many on this list would dig them.
