Open the Gates is the fourth album by the American heavy metal band Manilla Road. It was released in 1985 on the Black Dragon record label, rather than the band's own label, Roadster Records, which they had used on their previous releases.
In 2019, Metal Hammer ranked it as the 6th best power metal album of all time.[1]
