Mystification is the sixth studio album by American heavy metal band Manilla Road, released in 1987.
[4][5] It was re-released in 2000 on Sentinel Steel Records.
The album was inspired by the work of Edgar Allan Poe.
[6] AllMusic wrote that "bandleader Mark Shelton's stirring guitar work often comes to the rescue, spinning beautiful melodic yarns across the near epic 'Children of the Night' and the Haley's Comet-inspired 'Dragon Star', while additional album standouts such as 'Spirits of the Dead' and the title track finally display the clever combination of melodic savvy and compelling oft-spiritual lyrics to get them through.
