Manes was a band from Trondheim, Norway, formed in 1993. They started out as a two-piece band composed of Sargatanas and Cernunnus (or Cern). They have been signed to Candlelight Records, Hammerheart Records and the Italian experimental label Code666. The band's earlier works, up to and including Under Ein Blodraud Maane, were somewhat atypical Norwegian black metal and were highly lauded by fans of the genre. However as of Vilosophe the band completely changed its sound to a hybrid of Jazz, Trip-hop, electronica and Metal with clean sung vocals and many progressive overtones. In spite of being highly acclaimed by critics this subsequent change of direction alienated most of their original fan base.[citation needed]
In 2004 they played at the Inferno Metal Festival.
On June 13, 2011, Manes released an official statement on their web site that they were calling it quits, although they would still release their final album, Be All End All, as well as an LP re-release of the debut Under Ein Blodraud Maane.[1]
On May 11, 2013, Manes announced their return on the official Facebook page and that the album Be All End All is still going to be released.
First era: 1992-1999
Manes started by Cernunnus in 1992, as a side-project to Atrox a band he was playing in back then.. a few experimental lineups and concepts were tried out (perifa, obscuro), before manes settled as a two-man band, with Sargatanas doing the vocal duties, and Cernunnus doing everything else. The first demo: Maanens Natt (1993), the second Ned i Stillheten (1994) and the third: Til Kongens Grav de Døde Vandrer (1995). The debut album Under Ein Blodraud Maane was released by the dutch label hammerheart records.. after that album, cernunnus took a long break from music.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).
Second era: 2002-2011
Manes resurfaced in 2002, more or less as a new band.. new line-up, new musical style, new appearance. The second album, Vilosophe were released in 2003 by the Italian label Code666, to an unprepared audience.. this abrupt change and unexpected bahaviour have followed the band in everything they have done since.. manes played some gigs and festivals like inferno, hole in the sky, southern discomfort and quart, and shared a stage with bands like Isis, Katatonia, Red harvest and Theater of Tragedy among others .. to finalize their commitment to Aural Music (the ‘mother’ label of code666). Manes released the view ep in 2006 as an intermezzo between albums. In 2007, manes released the web ep deeprooted and the album How the world came to an end via the uk label Candlelight Records. This album further explored more of the negative spheres Vilosophe had ventured, but saw manes as a more creative collective collabortaing with a diverse group of guests. During the recording-sessions for this album, the next manes album were also taking form and pre-production for the upcoming Be All End All were initiated in 2007/2008, but this took time and drained energy. The reviews for How the world came to an end were good, and the band got a lot of attention, but no concerts were played in the wake of this release.[2] The band took a time off, however 15 different manes web releases were also released in 2011, among these “overheated”, “deep north” and “roman shower”, and all of these with 4 or 5 tracks on each, and available for a limited time only.
Revival: 2013-present
In spring 2013 the band resurfaced with new creative urge. The standstill for the manes activity was due to factors like health and family, and the associated Manes members devoted to other bands and projects, many of whom were collaboration between two or more of bandmembers. In the summer of 2013 manes released a new track “Blanket of Ashes” online, and announced that the album Be All End All finally will be released following a compilation album of obscurities and rare material called Teeth, Toes and other trinkets, both via the French label debemur morti.
