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.
Til Kongens Grav de Dode Vandrer
Manes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Svarte vinger flyr mot nord.
Tårn og festning skjelver av skrekk.
For mørkets tod har endelig kommet.
Ved steinen de skal stå igjen.
Og høre hohnet gjall.
Fra det grå tusmørket.
Slekter som en gang svor eden.
Skal komme, drevet av hat.
The lyrics to Manes's song "Til Kongens Grav de Dode Vandrer" have a dark and foreboding message about the arrival of some ominous event that will shake the very foundations of the land. The first line of the song sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics, as it implies that a shadow is descending over the land. The next line suggests that some dark force is approaching from the north, with black wings heralding its arrival.
As the song continues, the imagery becomes more vivid and menacing. Turrets and fortresses tremble with fear, as if something terrible is about to happen to them. The "mørkets tod" ("twins of darkness") are mentioned, which seems to suggest that some kind of powerful, malevolent beings are coming to wreak havoc on the land. The end of the song describes the arrival of a forgotten people from the north, who are driven by hatred and are coming to make their presence felt.
Overall, the lyrics to "Til Kongens Grav de Dode Vandrer" seem to be a warning of some impending catastrophe that will change the course of history. The images of darkness, fear, and destruction are powerful and evocative, and the song makes it clear that whatever is coming will be both powerful and inevitable.

Classic and very underrated, as often is the case with the real gems.

This is the Sargatos & Sargatanas brothers band. I met her from a metal show on a radio station back in 2001.
My favorite álbum is Under Ein Blodraud Maane, and his footprint will never be erased.🤘👹🤘
