Manku Kapak from Farge/Bremen in the North of Germany are a three-piece band, active since a couple of years but still very very young. This is their first full-length after several self-released demo's and compilation contributions, these kids finally overcome their sympatric shyness to present eleven songs full of passionate emotive hardcore.
Two Guitars and Drums built the solid fundament of this band. Conspicuous is the use of a Melodica. Listening these songs is throwing me directly back into the late 90's. Raging Melodies, harsh drums, moments of melancholy, great lyrics carried by a wave of intensity are making this band unique. Lyrical Manku Kapak treat social problems like for example the Principe of market economy, inclusion of disabled people and egoism of mankind. Most of the time the vocals are German and switch between despaired screamed passages and spoken words. This record is plain and moving.
A heartbeat from a spirit that was established by bands such as Her Breath On Glass, Wrought Ironsmile, Jet Black or even Indian Summer.
