MANIFEST Do 'The Sinking'

Early on, the band gained a reputation as a fierce live act, and only weeks after releasing their first album, Manifest performed live at the Wacken Open Air festival in Germany. Since then, the band has been an unrelenting live force, sharing the stage with such metal titans as Meshuggah, Entombed , Napalm Death, Behemoth & The Haunted.

‘The Sinking’ their fifth full length album was recorded in Sørgården Studio, Norway and produced by Manifest & Per Borten. Mixed & Mastered by Grammy award winning producer Oz Fritz in Ancient Wave Studio and High Velocity Studio, California USA. Cover artwork by Nikolai Serfass. “Making this album was kinda like working with concrete. Laboring at first, but as we got the machine rolling it just came pouring out. The result we feel is solid as, well… concrete. It´s definitely not easy listening, about as subtle as a horny bull and equally gentle. We had a blast making it, and that really shines through in the final result!“

I’m just a lucky guy who has chosen metal to live with for a long time. Metal changed my life for good. It made me more confident and stronger. Metalheads are naturally far away from the mass mediocrity and don’t accept impostures from anybody else. Metal is more than music, it’s a life changing oportunity!
