A solo funeral doom project by André Barroso, best known as the founder and former guitarist and synthesizer player of the northeastern death-doom outfit Lacryma Sanguine. Man of Sorrows carries forward a similarly desolate atmospheric sensibility, trading Lacryma Sanguine's death-inflected approach for the glacial tempos and smothering weight of funeral doom.
Man Or Maker is a one-man metal project based in Lviv, Ukraine. The solo artist's catalog includes the albums 'Winter Voices' and 'Summer Gaze,' exploring contrasting seasonal themes through self-produced metal compositions.
MAN WITH A MISSION are a Tokyo rock band formed in 2010, instantly recognizable for their wolf-headed visual identity but musically durable because the songs carry real cross-genre force. Their sound combines melodic punk speed, alternative rock hooks, rap-rock cadence, electronic programming, and hard-rock guitars, often arranged with the clarity of festival anthems. Albums such as MAN WITH A MISSION, Mash Up the World, Tales of Purefly, The World's On Fire, Chasing the Horizon, and Break and Cross the Walls show a band built for scale, with choruses designed for huge rooms and rhythm sections that keep the material moving. International listeners often encounter them through anime and game placements, including "Raise your flag," "database," "Seven Deadly Sins," and "Kizuna no Kiseki," but the catalog is broader than tie-ins. The heavy-adjacent quality comes from the riffs, pace, and mosh-ready live energy, while the pop strength comes from disciplined hooks. MAN WITH A MISSION work because the mythology is memorable, but the songwriting is strong enough to survive without the masks.
Mana Fantoma is a four-piece occult deathfuzz band from Seinäjoki, Finland, blending heavy fuzz guitar, doom metal weight, and stoner punk energy. Their 2024 demo features two tracks — 'Drip' and 'Bird Legged Woman' — introducing their murky, occult-tinged sonic identity.
Manace is a heavy/speed metal band from Aachen, Germany, whose 2023 debut "Mischievous Dreams" tells the story of a man trapped in nightmares through five tracks of blistering speed metal. Described as a "heavy metal sword forged with teutonic precision and evil intention," their sound channels classic speed metal madness with a horror-narrative concept.
Manach Seherath is a symphonic heavy metal band from Naples, Italy, formed in 2013. They craft grand, orchestrally enhanced heavy metal from the Campania capital.
Manaja is a sludge and stoner metal band from Tampere, Finland, formed in 2023. They channel crushing sludge and stoner metal from Finland's industrial heartland.
Manala is a black metal band from Kajaani, Finland, formed in 2021, named after the underworld of Finnish mythology. They forge cold, atmospheric black metal steeped in Finnish folk tradition.
Manali is a cosmic doom band from Kolding, Denmark, featuring guitar, drums, bass, and synth/vocals. Their catalog consists of rehearsal tape volumes that capture the raw, unpolished essence of their spacey, heavy sound, emphasizing live-session intensity over studio polish.
