M.A.N - Logocide


Sweden’s own M.A.N, are back with their third album Massive Audio Nerve, release today. The record was recorded in Gothenburg with engineer Svein Jensen and was mixed by Ulrich Wild, who has previously worked with White Zombie, Staind, Deftons, Pantera and Limp Bizkit, among others.

"Massive Audio Nerve" track listing:

01. Dead Set
02. Don't Wake Up
03. Logocide
04. Last Light Drains
05. Vivid Heart
06. Identical Abuse
07. False Memory Syndrome Pt 1 & 2
08. Slave Program
09. Mock At My Motion
10. Falling, Zero Status Zero


M.A.N contains of frontman Tony “JJ” Jelencovich and his many projects/side projects (b-thong, Transport League, Icon In Me, C-187, Angel Blake, Mnemic etc.) together with Rob Guz’s seven string (Own designed guitars), Engberg’s drums and Rob Hakemo’s bass making some crushing music that really can hit you in the face. The guys are very talented and you hear it on todays tune "Logocide".

M.A.N recently declared itself the very first metal band ever to have incorporated what it calls the "Full Scale Quarter Tone System" into its music — and metal music genre as a whole. According to the group, "'Full Scale Quarter Tone Systems' means that there are 24 quarter semi tones, instead of 12 'ordinary' semi tones, within reach of an octave [1200 cent]. This has led to new kinds of expressions and possibilities that have never been heard before, especially when this concept — cultivated and formed by M.A.N — is featured by more than just a solistic issue in order of solo instrumentalist matter or a solo part, but covered by the string instrument section in whole songs, with state of equilibrium with the ordinary semi tone system."

Yesterday they did have their release party at Helter Skelter/Harry B James here in Stockholm and i could not be there *sniff* well i hope they had a great evening. Tonight they will play in Gävle, be there if you are around that area of course. More tour dates below. Well there will be alot of music this weekend and the upcoming week, in the pipeline we have Scarpoint, Gamma Ray, Opeth, Lisa Nilsson, Amanda Jensen, Hanson De Wolfe and Jerry Williams :) Interesting mix of music :)
