On September 22, 2012, a major record deal was signed with Golden Core, a subsidiary label of ZYX Music . Soon after, Mysterium , the band’s sixteenth studio album, was released on February 1, 2013. The 11-minute song serving as the album’s title track is a retelling of the last days of Shelton’s great-great-great uncle, Ludwig Leichhardt , a 19th-century German explorer who vanished in the Australian interior during an expedition. The next and penultimate studio album for Manilla Road, The Blessed Curse , was released on February 13, 2015, and is a Sumerian -themed double album. With a length surpassing 98 minutes, The Blessed Curse would become Manilla Road’s longest studio album.
