Mana Mana is a cult band from Finland. They released only 1 album "Murheen Laakso" and 2 singles before the lead singer Jouni Mömmö took his own life 26.10.1991. The band didn't give any official interviews, there is no any real band photographs. They also played one show in prison. These days there are many bands in Finland in which Mana Mana influences can be found. But no one these bands doesn't come even close that Mana Mana atmosphere. "Complete...Kaikki" is re-released cd version, wchich includes all tracks, with Jouni Mömmö. Totuus Palaa LP, 2 singles & 4 session tracks. The best term to describe Mana Mana's
music with is "psycho metal". I found this genre description
from one Finnish record book. One of the darkest music styles I know
and all is so real. Mömmö was really someway insane himself
and it can be heard their music. It`s dark, hypnotic, cold and lyrics
are about death, insanity visions, depression & religion. "To
Die Alive", "Truth Is Burning" tracks names
tells much. One important link in Mana Mana sound is guitarist
Otra Romppainen's beautiful playing. I have his own project
Enter album and it`s great one too. Outside Finland Mana Mana stuff would be hard to find, but keep your eyes open, if this band short info wake your interesting. Here's some Mana Mana links "To die alive.. it has it's
