”Manifest is classic in a way but manages to surprise us with good songs and a real personality. Wait and see” -Metallian Magazine #34 -“The Art of War” unleashes some ultra brutal, tight and furious groovy death trash metal.” -www.pullthechain.be ”the band names Slayer, Sepultura, Meshuggah and others as influences. In fact, the Norwegian trash boys have their own sound” -www.metallian.com "The Art of War is as choppy as crossing the North Sea on a dinghy in December” -www.live4metal.com “Manifest has a strong quality: each rhythm that they play sounds extremely heavy. There is plenty of thrash metal influences here but they are combined with death metal and modern metal (in the sound) creating this explosive combination that is Manifest’s music.” -www.musicextreme.com “this band rocks, this band really rocks.” -www.metal-invader.com
