Ok folks.
I may have said this before, but I`ve never been afraid of repeating myself, so here goes.
I come from a small town called Mandal in Norway. In fact it is so small that most of you will proparbly call it a Village or a Bus stop MANITOU (Mandal, Norway) Icon_smile . (ca 12000 people in the whole County)
But despite beeing small we have a music scene I am very proud of.
Ever since I was young in the 80`s the local music scene has been very good IMHO.
None of the bands have made it really BIG, but still...
So I got the idea that it would be cool to present some of these more or less unknown bands to the good people of HOM.
I`ll start now, and present a new one when I get inspired again.
Please let me know what you think of them, good or bad.
I`ll start with a band I grew up with, these guys are around my age and some of them still good buddies of mine.
When they finally got a record deal it was 1994 and metal was eaten by the grunge, so the album got little attention. Their style was Progressive technical Metal.
Some are still in the music business, and Øyvind (vocals) has made it fairly well (Spiral Architect, Scariot)
The band is:
MANITOU

MANITOU (Mandal, Norway) Manitoubrukt
JAN:GIT - ØYVIND:VOC - BOLLIE:GIT - PB:DR - TOM:BAZ

Some words about the band from drummer Per:

I began to play drumz by the age of 11, directly caused by Peter Crizz. I waz makin tunes from the very start of Manitou together with the guitarist Jan Schulze (mars 85). At first the name was Slømp, then it became The Power-slaves. The name Manitou came about 86 and was taken from the Venom single, a band we really where inspired by at the time besides from Slayer, Exodus Mercyful Fate, Destruction and so on. Later, about 87 we got a new voxman Øyvind Hægeland. I had been playin drumz and singin togeter and was really happy with the new situasjon. This was the time that we got introduzed (by the new voxman) to Fates Warning wich sat the standard for our interest in makin muzick for a long time. From 85 until 95 Manitou was the main band for me, makin a demo-casette in 91 and the record Entrance in 94 we really established some-thing to the progmetal scene in Norway. I met Lars Lønning first time in 90, who introduced me to Nirvana, and some other sub pop albums of the time.I was immediately interested in the type of music and we where forming tree bands. I was takin on other instruments from bass in ”kul ful driv jøn”,with Runar Magnusson from Island yelling Norwegin lyrix, and guitar and vox in the band Nøyleknebe, and also playing drums with Ø.H. and Tom from Manitou in a band called Slem Mulkt.

Their only album Entrance:
MANITOU (Mandal, Norway) Manito10

I had that album years ago and I thought it was pretty good. Yes, he is a good singer and was a good fit in SPIRAL ARCHITECT.

Yes, this Manitou was formed in 1985 and split up in 95. They only released this one album.
The Finnish Manitou you are talking about was formed in 1998 and are still active i think.
