“A deadly cocktail of death and thrash,” stated Metal Hammer Germany about the ferocious debut album from Norwegian metal juggernauts Manifest. Originally unleashed upon the world on CD via Edgerunner Music/VME on June 13th, 2005, this relentless beast of an album finally sees the light of day on vinyl, two decades later, in an exclusive 20-year anniversary edition.
Fully re-mastered by the album’s original producer Rune Stavnesli, using state-of-the-art stem-mastering techniques, this edition breathes new life into the raw aggression and technical precision that made the album a standout upon release. The sonic quality has been vastly improved, giving every riff, every scream, and every blast beat a sharpened edge. It’s more intense, more punishing, like a freight train through your skull.
Initially described as "supreme noise thrash", the debut tore through the European metal scene like wildfire. It received rave reviews in major music publications across the continent, while also catching the attention of fans and critics in North and South America. The album’s ferocity and originality earned Manifest a coveted slot at the legendary Wacken Open Air Festival in 2005, along with multiple festival appearances and a high-profile tour with Entombed.
This is not just a reissue, it’s a celebration of an album that helped define a generation of extreme metal. Gritty, unrelenting, and honest to its core, this vinyl release is a must-have collector's item for fans of old-school thrash, death metal, and everything in between.
A true underground metal classic, now finally on vinyl. Prepare yourself. This album will shake your ground.
