On the first of January 2008, manes split up, and Cern formed kkoagulaa. In July 2013, however, the band resurfaced, promising an upcoming album recorded with the same lineup as Vilosophe, and linking to a new song "blanket of ashes".
There was a second band with name Manes which after two demos evolved into Ved Buens Ende. These two bands named Manes released a split together in 2009.
De Morke Makters Dyp
Manes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Smerte er sorgens smak.
Evig ondskap, stort behag.
Himmelen råtner, tåke av ondskap.
Stillhet knuser, sargen lystrer.
Traerne visner bort så svart.
Ondskap skriker høyt mot sky.
Fordervelse, hat alt på ny.
Varlig vettskremt hud.
Ondskapens hender fangen.
I et skittent, klebrig garn.
Iskald vind gjennom skogen blåser.
Tåker kveler liv i jorden.
Mør-ket roperondl i natt.
For de som voldtar lysets skatt.
Blødet ofres for det sanne.
Kirker skal brennes, alt skal dø.
Det eneste som gjenstår.
Ondskap på ny.
De mørke makters dyp.
The lyrics to Manes's song De Morke Makters Dyp are dark and powerful, with imagery that evokes feelings of despair, hopelessness, and evil. The first line, "Stemmer knuset livets lyst," speaks to the crushing of the will to live, as if all joy has been taken away. The second line, "Smerte er sorgens smak," describes pain as the taste of sorrow, implying a deep emotional wound. The following lines continue in this vein, with references to eternal evil, the decay of heaven, and the withering of trees.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of chaos and destruction, as if everything is falling apart. The stillness is shattered, and darkness reigns supreme. The lines "Fordervelse, hat alt på ny" suggest a repeating cycle of corruption and hatred that is never-ending. There is also a subtle reference to violence and abuse, with the lines "Ondskapens hender stryker. Varlig vettskremt hud. Ondskapens hender fangen. I et skittent, klebrig garn." The imagery of hands stroking and a captive caught in a sticky web are both chilling.
Overall, the lyrics to De Morke Makters Dyp are haunting and provide a stark description of a world overrun by evil. The imagery is dark and brooding, and the language is poetic and evocative.

Manes where the best Black Metal band. I got both of their Hammerheart demos from Moribund dist. awhile back. Raw, but the production isn't the worst I've heard.

More like Striborg reminds of Manes. I think their early demos have yet to be improved upon after many imitators.
