Manetheren - The End - Double LP Colored

"The End" is a concept album about a human being travelling across the lands as the world begins to end....

Each song represents events during the end times, and as they unfold the being feels himself becoming god, or death itself.

By the albums conclusion, this being becomes god and rules over the wasteland left behind.

All lyrics rely on anti-Christian themes, and overall an incredibly nihilistic approach to it all.

Manetheren formed in 2003 by G.J, and released 3 albums, one not properly distributed and the other two still as minor releases until when, in 2012, they were offered a deal by french label Debemur Morti and released with them the fourth album 'Time', which was an updated and reworked version of 'The Seven Realms of Manetheren'.

This album marks the addition of drummer "Thorns" to the band, known fro recording and touring with bands like Acherontas, Blut Aus Nord, Darvaza and Martrod

Since 'Time' they decided to take a deeper dive into the realm of atmospheric black metal with 'The End', which presents layered guitar, used like keyboards.

The main goal of this album was in fact to create something heavily layered in a dark atmosphere without moving too far from the realms of Black Metal (both musically and lyrically).

It took a few years to write and complete the album as well as to prepare everything else connected to the release. "The End" was basically recorded, mixed and mastered by D.G at BeastCave studio.

Manetheren is an ancient nation in the "Wheel of Time" series of books. Particularly it was one of the Ten Nations which arose after the Breaking of the World and was destroyed in the Trolloc Wars circa 1200AB. Its name translates as "Mountain Home" in the Old Tongue and its people seem to have been a hardy folk capable of living in the mountains.
