Manfrea releases "The Living Among The Dead"

"The Living Among The Dead," the latest and awe-inspiring song from Manfrea, takes listeners on a musical journey that explores the themes of war and desire for domination in the 21st century. Featuring a special guest appearance from Dmitry Demyanenko, this song sheds light on the consequences of such pursuits, leading to dead-end, misery, and irreversible losses.

Musically, the song draws inspiration from a diverse range of artists and genres, including Mick Gordon, Shokran, Asking Alexandria, Killswitch Engage, Bring Me The Horizon, Slipknot and many more. Written and recorded between August and December of 2022 in Russia, Armenia, and Kazakhstan, "The Living Among The Dead" is a testament to the band's creativity and musical versatility.

The song is a collaboration between Alexander Volodin, Christian Noir, and Dmitry Demyanenko, with lyrics penned by Christian Noir and Paul Lavrinenko. The lyric video and artwork design were created by Alexander Volodin and Christian Noir, and the instruments were recorded in Moscow by Manfrea themselves. The vocals were recorded at Frisson Studio in Oral, Kazakhstan, and the production was handled by Alexander Volodin, Christian Noir, Paul Lavrinenko, and Vladimir Kuzmin, with mixing and mastering by Kirill Konyaev.

Founded in Moscow, Russia, Manfrea began as a black metal duo before evolving into a full-fledged band. Over the years, the band has released two albums and one EP, and as of 2023, they are preparing another release from their partially-based locations in Russia and Kazakhstan. With a rich musical heritage and a commitment to innovation, Manfrea continues to push the boundaries of contemporary heavy music.
