Mannveira

Mannveira's debut album 'Vitahringur' coming in July

Formed in 2010, Iceland's Mannveira have been a relatively quiet band during the first decade of existence. Four years after inception, the band released their debut in the form of 'Von er eitur'.

Two years later they teamed up with the enigmatic Ellorsith for a haunting split on Dark Descent Records. Silence largely followed since that split as they've stayed busy working on 2021's debut full-length 'Vitahringur'.

Artowrk by Þórður Indriði Björnsson.

Recorded in 2018 to 2019, 'Vitahringur' is a manifestation of the downward spiral which it represents, portrayed in five tracks of abstract misery and violence. 'Vitahringur' is the culmination of a decade's work for Mannveira and the darkest journey in their existence. No longer will the band be lurking in the shadows. 'Vitahringur' is the statement the band has been working toward all along.

Track listing:
1. Ópin rjúfa þögnina (03:41)
2. Í köldum faðmi (09:14)
3. Vítahringur (08:39)
4. Framtíðin myrt (05:41)
5. Kverkatak eilífra martraða (08:07)

'Vitahringur' will be out July 2nd, via Dark Descent Records. Pre-orders are live for the LP/CD and t-shirt. Two vinyl versions available - black vinyl and ultra clear vinyl with black/white/silver splatter.
