MANIFEST Announce 20th Anniversary Edition of Legendary Debut Album “Half Past Violence”

“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 available on vinyl, on all streaming platforms and on Bandcamp

Tracklist:

  1. Slay the Dove
  2. Manufactured Lie
  3. Third Eye Ricochet
  4. Dead End Spiral
  5. Grind Whore
  6. Friendshit
  7. King of Sin
  8. Scarred for Life
  9. The Art of War
  10. Withered World
  11. Mess-age to Death-age

Norwegian metallers MANIFEST have released a brand new track entitled L.G.A.D.. The song is a tribute to fallen Entombed legend L.G. Petrov, who passed away a year ago after battling cancer.

Manifest have issued the following comment regarding the song:
“The death of L.G. Petrov in March last year came as very, very sad news. With his inhumane voice and unique charisma, L.G. was one of the greatest frontmen ever to be seen! We are sure he is giving the devil, and all of his friends, one hell of a time and we are dedicating this song to him. The legacy of L.G. Petrov deserves to live on forever!”

L.G.A.D. was produced by Manifest & Per Borten and mixed/mastered by Grammy award winning producer Oz Fritz. The track will be available on all streaming platforms on March 18th 2022, and will also be released as a lyric video on social media channels.

L.G.A.D. was recorded in Sørgården Studio, Norway, during the recording sessions for the new Manifest album, set for release later in the year via ViciSolum Productions/Sound Pollution distribution.

“‘Manifest’ is the latest step in the evolution of AMARANTHE, and across the board it is the boldest statement: We are here to stay, we are utterly passionate about what we do and we will take no prisoners in our strive for musical excellence! An all-out metal rollercoaster, ‘Manifest’ does not hold back in any regard – from the first second to the last, it is brimful with some of the heaviest AMARANTHE riffs to date, soaring and emotional vocals and unrelenting metallic fury. We hope you will enjoy this album as much as we enjoyed making it!”

Together with this groundbreaking news, the band will share some impressive visualsaccompanying the first single ‘Viral’ – celebrating the beginning of a new era with a breathtaking music video that will premiere tonight at 20.00 CEST, on the Nuclear Blast Youtube channel.

Set yourself a reminder, tune in and join the chat with AMARANTHE during and after the premiere:

AMARANTHE commented:
“Finally we can unleash ‘Viral’ upon an unsuspecting world! It is one of the grooviest and downright heaviest songs in AMARANTHE’s history – it is the very epitome of what we have always stood for: Massive choruses, a thundering rhythm section and a constant will to push our sound forward into the future. ‘Viral’ was prophetically titled before the onset of the current worldwide situation, and so we felt compelled to tie it in lyrically with this. Welcome to a new era of AMARANTHE history – welcome to ‘Viral!'”
