Manifest of Hate was produced at Abyss Studios by Tommy Tägtgren and has a very big sound that enhances the overall feel of the album and adds to the aggressiveness. Vocalist Anders Sjöholm's singing reminds me of Mikael Åkerfeldt (of Opeth). The guitar playing of Stefan Holm and Patrik Persson is fast and technical. Nicke Grabowski is the drummer, and he fills the music with plenty of blast beats and extreme double-bass pounding. Michael Håkansson attacks the bass guitar just as aggressively as the rest of the group. Nicke is credited with writing most of the lyrics, but Anders gets credit for two songs, and they are haunting, dark, and morbid.
