Wichita, KS-based Manilla Road is one of America's -- make that the world's -- great cult heavy metal bands. Geographically isolated, fiercely independent, and highly original, the group has rarely toured and never seen a single album released by a major record company, but has nevertheless managed to endure in one form of another for over two decades.
Vocalist and guitarist Mark Shelton was involved in a number of amateur bands during the 1970s, playing jazz and country before winding up in a rock band called Embryo, and later founding Manilla Road in 1979 with bassist Scott Parks and drummer Rick Fisher.
