Originally released in nineteen eighty-five, Manilla Road's Open The Gates stands as one of the most revered records in the band’s legendary catalog. Blending epic heavy metal with darker doom-laden atmosphere, the album helped cement the cult status of Mark Shelton and his Kansas-based underground metal institution.

The record features fan favorites such as “Metalstrom,” “Open The Gates,” “Astronomica,” and the anthemic “Heavy Metal To The World.” With Shelton’s unmistakable vocals and guitar work leading the charge, the album delivers the mystical storytelling, soaring riffs, and epic songwriting that made Manilla Road a cornerstone of underground heavy metal.

This High Roller Records reissue arrives as a limited hand-numbered picture disc edition, strictly limited to five hundred twenty-five copies and including a cardboard insert, making it a standout collectible for fans of classic epic metal.
