MANHATTAN SKYLINE
CURSES

The four year existance of this Oslo-based five-piece has been a long fight against hidden forces. The recording process of their debut album has suffered through countless interruptions, topped by this: Two of the band members overcome life-threatening illness during the during the process of making this album. The title of the album gave itself: Curses. Right from the opening miliseconds of Curses, the listener is beeing floored by Manhattan Skyline's frenetic technical force and aggression. Inspired by the latest findings of molecular-biology, they fire off fractal musical patterns with an intricacy that is growing with each listen. Manhattan Skyline simultaniously blows all the fuses that trap so many bands in mediocrity. Curses is the organic consequence of progressive rock, fired up with a sonic intensity and power far beyond any star-bearded cosmic vision. -"An uncompromising record that proves that it is possible to play with shades of black, even in a massive and monotonous dark" – Dagsavisen - "A well-functioning catalyst for a fix of aggression carried out with competence and enthusiasm" - Dagbladet
