MANIHAD is a solo sonic exploration of self that excavates the layers of the past to uncover the untapped potential of the future. Evolution is the objective, sonic praxis is the key.
Upon each release MANIHAD displays an unflinching dedication to examining percieved darkness with brutal honesty, and sometimes considered delicacy; bound by a desire to come into contact with that Self beyond self. Divers dreams and broken forms collide yielding works of chaos, wonder and luminosity. MANIHAD transforms the shadows we all face into strange, heavy and beautiful music.
“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” - Rumi.
“the predigestion of evil...which (the individual) carries out as part of the process of assimilating his shadow makes him, at the same time, an agent for the immunization of the collective. An individual’s shadow is invariably bound up with the collective shadow of his group, and as he digests his own evil, a fragment of the collective evil is invariably co-digested at the same time.” - Erich Neumann, Depth Psychology and a New Ethic.
