Manifold - When Silence Erases My Name 7"

Manifold was a new school hardcore band from the Lazio region in central Italy during the second half of the 90s. Their 'When Silence Erases My Name' 7" was released on Rebound Action in 1997, a label run by their drummer Andrea 'Capò' Corsetti who still runs the label and also still drums, in a brutal grind/hardcore band called Neid...

Anyways, Manifold was a (partly?) vegan sXe band with lyrics about those subjects, and played a heavy style somewhere between more early/mid 90s new school sounding and the more metallic sound of Italian edgemetal bands like Reprisal and Purification. But rougher and less polished, both in execution and production. Good stuff tho, it's a shame they remained fairly obscure, especially outside of Italy... They also did a split 7", but I don't have it unfortunately. Members also played in bands like Muddle and Tear Me Down.
