Manes

Manes is a multifaceted band originating from Trondheim, Norway, known for their boundary-pushing approach to music. They initially formed in 1993 as a two-piece black metal project, but have since evolved far beyond their roots to incorporate a diverse range of genres, including avant-garde, electronic, trip-hop, and alternative rock. This evolution reflects the band's restive nature and willingness to explore the darker and more experimental aspects of music.

After two early demos, Manes officially debuted with their first full-length album "Under Ein Blodraud Maane" in 1999, showcasing a black metal aesthetic. However, it was with the release of "Vilosophe" in 2003 that their drastic style shift was fully realized, as they infused their sound with more eclectic and industrial elements. Their exploratory spirit continued with albums like "How The World Came To An End" (2007) and "Be All End All" (2014), each release further blurring genre lines. Their most recent works, like the introspective "Slow Motion Death Sequence" (2018) and "Young Skeleton" (2019), continue to challenge listeners with their intricate soundscapes and hauntingly poetic lyrics. Manes's discography is a daring journey through sound, with each album acting as a distinct chapter in their ever-evolving narrative, liberally interspersed with remixes, compilations like "Teeth, Toes & Other Trinkets" (2014), and collaborations that highlight their continual reinvention.
