Manifestation

Bio:
Manifestation evolved from a working-class environment in southwestern Germany during the mid nineties. Their first years were quite a struggle for the survival of Manifestation due to several band related problems and major personal issues of its members eventually even culminating in a total breakdown for a short term.
After having overcome lots of initial problems the first serious recording was finished in May 2001 and marked the true begining of Manifestation. Still in the same year, in October Marcel (Vocals), Patrick (Bass), Oliver (Guitar) and Benno (Drums) finally put out their material on an untitled demo CD. Two years later, in 2003 Manifestation released their debut album called "Religious Madness" with Stephan on drums who had to fill in for Benno as he left the band before the recordings. Shortly after their full-length release Pascal joined the band on second guitar. With that new line-up they later released "F.T.W." as a colored 10'' vinyl including nine new songs in 2005.In February 2006 they played their first European tour as support of NYC's 25 Ta Life leading to the reissue of the almost sold out 10'', this time on CD. Shortly before that tour Pascal had left the band and was instantly replaced by Alex who took over his part on second guitar. That was followed by another tour with their friends Bleed Into One in 2007 used as an occasion to release a new 3 track demo titled "Destination Unknown". On October 20, 2007 they played their last show with Stephan on drums, who was then replaced by Steffen in early 2008.
In August 2009 they entered the Kohlekeller-Studio near Darmstadt to record their latest master piece "Burden Of Mankind", combining the traditional hardcore sound with some punk and metal vibes. Altogether, they had their huge band width of musical influences leave individual marks on the record, ranging from fast melodic punk passages, over some Oi influenced background vocals up to hard hitting moshparts.
