Manes

Manes sign with Candlelight Records

Norwegian Manes have inked a record deal with Candlelight Records. Currently there's two albums in pre-production stages and the recordings of the first one, titled 'Invention - Or How the World Came to an End and Why We Did It' (the second one's title is 'Be all//End all')., will start this summer and the album should come out in early 2007.
The band's comments: "We'll be collaborating with some external people again on this, both musical, lyrical and visual artists, so that's keeping the unpredictability-meter dangerously close to the red zone for us as well, which we find very satisfying. Some of the songs has already been given names like 'Deeprooted', 'Every Passenger a Pilot', 'Controlled Escalation' and 'Dira Necessitas'. We find the new stuff very dark and atmospheric in a close-to-suicidal way, and some of you will probably hate us forever and wish we'd just die after this one. Which we also find very satisfying."
