Spawned in 2010, Mannveira belongs to the circle of those who ignited the freezing flame of Icelandic Black Metal. And lift it up to its unique significance. In line with acts like Wormlust, Slidhr, or Svartidaudi.

Mannveira is formed by a circle of musicians from bands such as Nadra, Andavald, Örmagna, Naught and Almyrkvi. The past decade they created their own elusive path in between that unique cold and malicious Icelandic soundscape. With a focus on a thicker and somewhat hidebound sound. A merit of their music is the approach on their use of different genre styles. Mannveira combines the heaviness of Doom with a Punkish and aggressive Black Metal attitude. That leads into a progressive, smothering and unctuous form of Black Metal. That independent peculiarity pushed them to the spheres their in right now. Being called the “next big band from Reykjavik” and a “project which seems to have the future or a subterranean hell in front of them”. As a result they teamed up with the infamous Wormlust to tour Europe in 2016, played Eistnaflug festival, Ascension Festival and dozens of single shows.
