It started as a project with Sargatanas on vocals and Cern playing all instrucments. With that line-up Manes recorded the three demos „Maanens natt” (93), „Ned i stillheten” (94) and „Til kongens grav de døde vandrer” (95). The two first demos was later re-released by the Hammerheart Records sub-label „Unveiling the Wicked” in 98. In 99 the album „Under ein blodraud maane” was released by Hammerheart Records as well, and it was simply a re-recording of various tracks from the three previous demos. Cern felt the project became more and more of a burden as he had spurs of no motivation, troubles with disease, little or no interest in the growing metal-scene etc.etc. – so, to activate the band again he chose to include a full line-up, Sargatanas left the band, and after a while a contract was signed with the Italian label Code666 - where the second Manes full-length Vilosophe was released in 2003. The album was recorded at Skansen Studio in Manes’ hometown Trondheim, and the music was labelled “Neo Avant Metal” by Code666, but the band themselves choose to ignore this rather silly “description”, and simply call the music a dark mix of metal and rock with electronic elements.

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.

Maanes natt
Manes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Svart skogen hvor ondskap svermer.
Dype daler, månen hersker.
Tåken ligger på berget.
I vente på ihjelbrent skatt.
Rundt i de dype daler.
Lusker en voldsom frykt.
En ondskap som vokser og hersker.
Skal igjen erobre med voldsomt hat.
Inn i de dype daler.
Hvor lyset har sloknet for evig tid.
Hvor ondskap skal alltid herske.
Skal blodet flyte på ny.
Navnet ropes høyt mot sky.
Natten fylles opp av skrivet.
Kniven skaerer dypt om strupen.
Ofres for de som hersker.
"Bålet brenner ondt i natt.
Der skal brennes uskyldig skatt.




Månes natt.
Hjelbrent skatt".

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Maanes natt" by Manes describe a haunting and ominous atmosphere located in a dark forest where evil deeds take place. The deep valleys and the moon's dominance add to the eerie and mysterious vibe. The fog, which rests on top of the mountain, seems to wait for someone to burn an innocent treasure. In the deep valleys of this forest, a formidable fear lurks, and a growing evilness takes power, with violent hatred that will once again conquer. The light has been extinguished forever in this cursed place, and evil will always reign, and blood will flow again. The night is full of screams and terror, and sacrifice is made to the ones who rule. The chant rises towards the sky, and a knife cuts deep into the throat of the victim. The innocent treasure will be burned, and the night of the moon will be filled with horror and destruction.

You better see your doctor and take a full examination.

@deathbox75

I did - Aside from the crippling paranoia and violent outbursts, he says I'm doing just fine, thanks. Seriously though; to me, this is standard black metal, not terrible, but not that great either. 'Vilosophe' was at least a stab at something different, and original. I can see why diehards would hate it, though.

@XenomeliAnarquicA

JAjajajajajajajaja .Ud. si que es gracioso

@deathbox75

It IS rock, just a tad...mellow, I dunno. I dig it. I don't like BM either, so I find it hilarious they did a complete 360 and did 'Vilosophe'. Broaden your horizons, my friend. Or put some of your mother's corpsepaint and blast some 1349, or some shit. Now THEY blow, mwa ha! >: )

@XenomeliAnarquicA

JAjajajajajajajaja .Ud. si que es gracioso

@deathbox75

Meh, the 'Vilosophe' era is so much more interesting...
