WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT MANIC MOONLIGHT.....
That record (Tape Head), Mr. Bulbous, Manic Moonlight....we...made those records together, wrote together and that's how those records came about.Ā And that's kind of a nice period for me - to think just the three of us can do that.Ā They are three of my favorite records.Ā Ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā (from King's X: An Oral History)Ā Ā Jerry Gaskill (King's X drummer)
After the relatively eccentric Please Come Home...Mr. Bulbous, King's X returned with the most confidently organic and groove-based record of their career. Manic Moonlight, the Texas trio's ninth album, is the sound of a band who has vented their demons and come to terms with themselves.Ā ALLMUSIC.COM
Exclaim! writes that "all the requisite solid performances, chunky grooves, flashy guitar work and beautifully realized vocal harmonies are here.Ā Ā
What this album does so well is manage to be so musically captivating, the relatively silly lyrics in some places come as an after thought...the band doesn't lose it's musical prowess with Manic Moonlight.Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā SputnikMusic.com
ABOUT THE ALBUM
KINGāS X -Ā MANIC MOONLIGHT
š„Ā Elite 2025 Remaster by Rob Colwell
š„Ā Limited to 150 copies on Mars Attack Color Vinyl
š„Ā First-ever 2-LP Gatefold Vinyl with lyrics and band photos
š„Ā Includes Japan-exclusive extended versions of āBelieveā and āVegetableā on vinyl for the first time!
Originally released in 2001,Ā Manic MoonlightĀ capturesĀ Kingās XĀ 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 openerĀ "Believe"Ā kicks things off with a deep-pocket groove and Doug Pinnickās 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 ofĀ "Vegetable"Ā make it an instant Kingās X classic, whileĀ "Skeptical Winds"Ā dives into soulful, R&B-infused rock territory. Experimental moments like the dark, ambient textures ofĀ "Static"Ā contrast with the lush harmonies and melodic richness ofĀ "Jenna"Ā andĀ "False Alarm", proving once again that Kingās X is a band that refuses to be pigeonholed.
Following its initial release,Ā Kingās X touredĀ Manic MoonlightĀ with Joe Satriani and Dream Theater, further cementing their reputation as one of rockās most revered yet underrated power trios. The band was even rankedĀ #83 on VH1ās 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock Countdown, a testament to their lasting influence.
Now, Brutal Planet Records presents theĀ ultimate vinyl editionĀ ofĀ Manic Moonlight, featuring theĀ first-ever 2-LP gatefold releaseĀ withĀ full lyrics and rare band photos. This edition also includes theĀ Japan-only extended versions of āBelieveā and āVegetableā, making theirĀ vinyl debut.

ThisĀ limited-edition pressing of only 150 copies of Mars Attack VinylĀ is the definitive way to experienceĀ Manic Moonlightāsecure yours before itās gone!
