MANNGARD 's brand new album “Circling Buzzards” out now!

Manngard leave their native shores of Norway armed with debut album “Circling Buzzards”, ready to conquer. This ruthless chunk of death metal is delivered with uncompromising Slayer-like aggression, featuring a guest appearance from Grutle Kjellson of Enslaved.

The lyrical concept on Circling Buzzards is inspired by the works of American novelist William Faulkner. A family living on a farm at the back of beyond in the American Mid-West, are driven to monstrosities by a tyrant father. Travellers passing by tend to disappear, and rumours have it they end up in a nearby quagmire.

Manngard has a history of live appearances from all the biggest Norwegian cities. The band has performed twice at “Hole In The Sky” heavy metal fest of Bergen (www.holeinthesky.no), latest in 2005, and played as supporting act for renowned Norwegian metallers Red Harvest.
