5man

Creating a dark yet melodic sound of their own, 5MAN is perfecting the hard rock/metal style in their
newest release, The Permanent Campaign. By utilizing heavy power chords, chugging guitar riffs,
pulsating bass and pounding machine-gun style drums, 5MAN has supplied the basic elements to
complement the spiritually vivid vocals of love and hate portrayed in its socially relevant lyrics.
5MAN is Damian Mancl (vocals), Mike Van Den Huevel (guitar), Nick Rodello (bass, vocals) and Jason
Kobishop (drums). Deriving its name from Mancl’s mantra of stripping away the superficial aspects of
life and focusing on the four basic elements and one passion, having these five things in mind, one can
live as a MAN of 5, or 5MAN.
Having performed at college campuses, local clubs and national music festivals such as Dropfest,
Summerfest, and the Music as a Weapon Tour, 5MAN is no stranger to displaying their raw talent and
passion to others. Hailing from Appleton, WI., 5MAN has opened for Deftones, Clutch, Drowning Pool,
Shinedown, Saliva, P.O.D., Cold, Taproot, Nonpoint, Dope, Hellyeah, Lacuna Coil, Machine Head and
more.
