"...Old School Groove Metal combined with Modern Thrash and Death Metal. No question about it; within this genre Manifest is the leading band in Norway..." -METAL EXPRESS RADIO
Norway..s MANIFEST have toured with ENTOMBED, supported bands like SUSPERIA, BEHEMOTH and played festivals like WACKEN OPEN AIR, INFERNO, HOLE IN THE SKY and METAL ROCK FEST. You combine this with relentless touring of clubs the last years and the band have over a hundred gigs behind them. After their massive display of aggression at WACKEN OPEN AIR 2005, the correspondent from METAL HAMMER GERMANY described MANIFEST as "…a deadly cocktail of death and thrash metal, melody and anger…they have an amazing stage presence…".
MANIFEST..s 2nd album HEDONISM is the follow up to 2005..s HALF PAST VIOLENCE (Edgerunner Music/VME Distribution) and combine the best from modern thrash metal with a crushing groove and progressive elements, proving they know the recipe for monster riffing! Produced by Knut “Fug” Prytz (NECROPHAGIA, BLOODTHORN), the album was released in Europe on February 3rd 2008 on Morningstar Records/Plastic Head Distribution and has recieved stunning reviews all over Europe since it..s release:
"Rarely do I sit with an evil grin on my face, banging along to music I haven’t heard before, but this was the case with album opener "Chemical Solution". www.antenna.nu (DK)
“Hedonism” is an impressive album and one that will have thrash fans screaming for more!” Powerplay Magazine (UK)
“High speed with enough venom to make a spitting cobra cower in shame.” www.live4metal.com (UK)
“Offering the same no-nonsense approach that has made the bay area such a renowned breeding ground.” www.burningmisery.com (NL)
It..s 2009 and MANIFEST are stronger than ever, currently in the last stages of writing what will become the bands third album. The band recently announced the addition of bassist Johnny Wangberg (GRIFFIN, WATTAMEZZ) to the group's ranks and they are on the lookout for a new label to release their future recordings.
