Since
the release of All Life All Minds on Crazy Life Records
(Germany)/JVC Victor Records(Japan) in 1996, MANIFEST
DESTINY has continued to deliver modern metal and still keep their
roots firmly planted in the old school. Releasing an even heavier second CD,
What
You Fear in 1997, Crazy Life deemed the band
too heavy for the label's new direction. Refusing to compromise, MD
made the decision to stay true to their brand of metal and became independent.
By dishing out brutal live performances and building a loyal
underground following, MD have since emerged as one of the
premier independent metal bands in the U.S. and throughout the world. The Belgian
Press even dubbed MANIFEST DESTINY "The New American Thrash
Kings". In 2001, MD solidified this fact by attaining the Number 2 Best Selling
Metal CD on mp3.com with their third CD Within.
MD continues to devastate live audiences and
has shared the stage with many metal legends, including: Flotsam &
Jetsam, Nevermore, Stuck Mojo, Fates Warning, Saxon, Testament, King Diamond,
Pissing Razors, Biohazard, and Six Feet Under.
In November 2006, Rock
It Up Records (Germany) re-released Within throughout Europe and it received rave
reviews. On May 1st, 2007 founder and lead guitarist Brent Wheatley passed away
after a fight with cancer. Brent told each member of the band that he would
want to see the band continue. Keeping with Brent's wish, Rock
It Up Records officially released the band's long awaited fourth CD, Your
World Has Died, on September 28, 2007. It is also receiving
outstanding reviews. The band was working on a fifth CD at the time of Brent's
passing. MD plans to finish writing and record the fifth CD. Keep checking back
for more details on the status of the band.
Those of you who know us, know that this band lived to perform
the music we love. We never compromised or changed our style for anyone. So,
from everyone in MANIFEST DESTINY, we would like to thank those of you
that supported us and listened to our music over the years. You Rock!
