Mark and Manilla Road had their own world. I'm sad. RIP

[@frankinchickenb9020]

Me too man. I listen to them like 30% of the time I am listening to music. I am at a loss. Very unique, and unreplaceable.

[@SwissCheese667]

+FrankinChicken B I totally agree

[@SimoneBattaglia94]

Discovering Manilla Road about 10 years ago through this song was an absolute life changer. For me it's still one of the best songs of the road.

[@Wabin22]

Hands down, one of Manilla Roads best songs! Still can't believe the Shark isn't with us anymore, and that there will not be anymore MR :/

[@bladeofmird]

Mystical,atmospheric and powerful.Very few bands can capture this elusive and subtle epic feeling.

[@bladeofmird]

+Blade of Mird And Manilla Road is obviously one of them.

Here in the fire Nothing belongs to god Only the fire Burning away the heart Here in the mind The holy war is fought Out of all time Into the Courts of Chaos Here in the fire Only the strong survive Blasphemous fire Burning the soul alive Sons of the night Come to claim what was lost These holy knights Come to the Courts of Chaos Here in this unholy pit of despair Nightmares of hell come alive Here the true enemy is your own fear Honor is but to survive Blessed Be warriors who fight here and die Heros thee are to us all Inside these halls Valkyries have no sight If thee are felled thee be lost Warrior cries Echoing through the night Inside these halls The horde of Chaos falls Inside these halls of hell The Old One still he dwells Sitting upon the throne of Chaos Master of all his race Monster insatiate 'Tis he we come to slay in Chaos Hear our cries In Odin's name we figth Inside these halls The throne of Chaos falls Into the Courts of Chaos Into the halls of eternal despair Into the Courts of Chaos The only enemy is your own fear

[@CAINACC]

R.I.P. Mark, you will be missed.

[@beltramo666]

[@chrisandrea4963]

Best song ever

[@Nottidelmistero]

Manilla Road Forever and Ever Epic Music...the best!!! Honor RIP

[@PennyDreadful1]

4:17 I love the phrasing here. It moves from these muted staccato burst rising up to a plateau of lightning fast sustained notes that sounds truly epic. Mark Shelton was easily one of the most soulful shredders in metal.

[@corywilson532]

I'm really happy I got to see their Anniversary Show in Atlanta. Dressed up as Smiling Jack and everything.

[@jeremyrebelka]

Pure Greatness and magic!

[@uuuuu1111]

This is the epitome of Dungeons & Dragons metal at its best.

[@91RocknRoller]

[@tournication]

[@francescolaruffa3441]

This is pure art!!

[@markusnavergard2387]

This intro. i love this

[@jellybeans8744]

Shelton was the one playing the red warlock guitar,the the hammer of Thor necklace.

[@mitchelltheawesome1]

Some people say Crystal Logic, some say Mystification, but I say this record right here is MR's best album.

[@mannyruiz1954]

Almost prog. Keyboards are awesome.

[@deathtrvcker666pl2]

Epic \m/

[@frankinchickenb9020]

fucking awesome.

[@adrianaslund8605]

Mark Shelton had such a barbarian way with the guitar. In that its intuitive and purely emotional,dirty but with epic melodiousity that for example Iron Maiden's guitar solos do not have. Its not a sideshow is what Im saying. And live he would improvise and some times it would be inferior to the album and sometimes it would transcend the album version by leaps and bounds. The one that really sold me was a live rendition of Witches Brew from 2006. It feels like his playing was dependent on his mood or day to day form.

[@tribunal3003]

I don't think that he was better guitar player than Smith or Murray... but I do think that he is better singer than Bruce Dickinson... and better lyricist than Steve Harris...
