Mastered for vinyl by Patrick W. Engel at TEMPLE OF DISHARMONY

Roughly ten years after what was originally planned as a Mark Shelton solo project, namely “Circus Maximus“, the album “Atlantis Rising“ marked the comeback phase of Manilla Road. They had signed to Iron Glory Records in Germany and issued two records in quick succession, “Atlantis Rising“ in 2001 followed by “Spiral Castle” in 2002. As “Spiral Castle” was released so shortly after “Atlantis Rising” it might be legitimate to wonder if all the songs on “Spiral Castle“ were already written when "Atlantis rising" came out. The overall style of both albums is indeed a bit similar. “Good question“, finds Mark Shelton. “And thanks for paying such close attention ha, ha. Actually some of the songs on 'Spiral Castle' were written when Randy and Harvey were playing with me in the mid 1990's. After we did 'Atlantis Rising' I decided to resurrect those songs. I re-wrote them a little and changed the titles and sort of re-arranged some of them to fit the group of guys that I had playing with me at the time (Anderson, Patrick and Peters). Since the songs were written before Bryan started singing with us we changed the vocal approach on most of the songs. So it did not take too long to have some of 'Spiral Castle' written. The song 'Spiral Castle' was originally called 'White Goddess'. 'Merchants of Death' was originally called 'Holy War' and 'Seven Trumpets' was first called 'The Gods Are Sleeping'. The rest of the songs on the project were written specifically for the project. I would not say that the album is a total similar style to 'Atlantis Rising' but there are similarities because of it being the same band members playing on the project. I personally feel like there was a bit more of an artistic approach to 'Spiral Castle'. It's not a huge epic concept like 'Atlantis Rising' was and I think 'Atlantis Rising' was a bit more of a direct approach to the songs than 'Spiral Castle'. 'Spiral' has a real artsy feeling to most of the songs. Especially songs like 'Seven Trumpets' and 'Merchants of Death' and 'Gateway to the Sphere' and 'Sands of Time'. We experimented a little more on this album than we did on 'Atlantis Rising'. Even though 'Atlantis Rising' was a sprawling epic concept I think that many of the songs on 'Spiral Castle' sound more like epic material.”
