Under ein Blodraud Maane


This isn't going to be for everyone, so I will make this short and sweet... Manes were a black metal band from Norway, originally, yet have "progressed" into more experimental music in recent years. "Under ein Bloodraud Maane" (If I have to explain the title, your an idiot, okay?) was recorded in 1999 and stands as a monument for the band in terms of their black years. If synths turn you off, you might as well stay away from this as they are very prominent in the formula that is Manes, but for some reason I find them to be appropriate for such a project. May come off as typical to some, or even stereotypical perhaps, but there are some genuine moments to be found on this album and I implore a thorough listening before making any judgements.

1. Min Trone Står Til Evig Tid
2. Maanens Natt
3. Uten Liv Ligger Landet Øde
4. De Mørke Makters Dyp
5. Under Ein Blodraud Maane
6. Til Kongens Grav De Døde Vandrer
