The story
Manes have released a video for “The Firebrand”, the second single from To Burn Is To Shine, out on 27/11/2026 through Avantgarde Music on CD, LP, digital and a limited collector’s edition.
Avantgarde Music calls Manes one of the most uncompromising and unpredictable entities to come out of Norway’s extreme music scene. Album design and the video are by Michael Houtz.

Our take
Manes left their black metal roots behind long ago, but they remain one of Norway’s most interesting outsiders. Approach with an open mind.
Bottom line
Pre-order now; the album is out 27/11/2026.
