MANIMALISM - The Crooner by Kim Sølve published on 2014-10-07T12:47:07Z The Crooner is taken from Manimalisms upcoming self-titled debut album. «If this album was released during the period of its initial conception, today we would most likely include it among classic avant-garde metal albums such as Written in Waters and Min tid skal komme.» Avantgarde-metal.com A ghost has risen from Norway’s post-Black Metal scene. Its name is MANIMALISM. After releasing two demos in the midnineties as TAARENES VAAR, MANIMALISM went quiet; or so it seemed on the outside. Manimalism never went away. Now, over 20 years after they formed, they are ready to launch their very first album! Composed between 1992 and 1999, this album—apparently cursed from birth—has since been hovering in a near-completed form burdened by a constant barrage of breakdowns, line-up changes, and recording difficulties. Now the wait is over! Slithering from silence is the crew of Kim Sølve, Bjeima, Petter ’Plenum’ Berntsen, Member 01, and Joachim Svebo.
