FIRST EXCLUSIVE INFORMATION:
"This whole project, except for the first song Megladon*, is an epic concept. It is sort of like part two of The Deluge. I always thought that I should have expanded on the Atlantis thing and so now that is exactly what I am doing. If you like Manilla Road for the dark concepts based in Mythos then you will love the SHARK CD for I believe it is my best epic concept work to date." (Mark Shelton, July 2000)
(* the song is about the prehistoric grandfather to the Great White shark)
You canīt compare SHARK to the CIRCUS MAXIMUS-project! While this was a project of three individual musicians performing together on a record, SHARK sounds like a band. SHARK is metal music on a very high level, good musicians perform great songs. A lot of songs are not just epic but also slow and hard, but I donīt want to use the word Doom Metal here, because SHARK donīt sound like Candlemass or Black Sabbath. There is a lot of space for those incredible vocal-lines. The vocals sound very Manilla-like with all those long endings and the vibrato in the voice. Of course another trademark can be heared: The solos! SHARK is unique!
I am sure the SHARK CD will not only reach the Manilla Road fans! They will get also new fans with this very good material. Welcome SHARK!!
