King's X - Manic Moonlight - Orange (2LP, Coloured vinyl, Limited Edition, Remastered, Gatefold, Orange)

Facts Originally released in 2001, Manic Moonlight captures King's X at their most experimental and uninhibited. Choosing to write the album together in the studio rather than bringing in pre-written demos, the band created a spontaneous, groove-heavy, and sonically adventurous collection of songs that challenge expectations while staying true to their signature sound. The album opener "Believe" kicks things off with a deep-pocket groove and Doug Pinnick's introspective lyrics on self-acceptance, setting the tone for an album brimming with rhythmic complexity and layered harmonies. The slamming bass line and hard-rock crunch of "Vegetable" make it an instant King's X classic, while "Skeptical Winds" dives into soulful, R&B-infused rock territory. Experimental moments like the dark, ambient textures of "Static" contrast with the lush harmonies and melodic richness of "Jenna" and "False Alarm", proving once again that King's X is a band that refuses to be pigeonholed. Following it's initial release, King's X toured Manic Moonlight with Joe Satriani and Dream Theater, further cementing their reputation as one of rock's most revered yet underrated power trios. The band was even ranked #83 on VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock Countdown, a testament to their lasting influence.
