ManifestiV

Paragraph's psychedelic down-tuned guitars, Lillith's electronically delayed vibraphone, eerie vocal harmonies, and tribally macabre bass-beats make the ManifestiV sound the most eclectically heavy music this side of extinction. Their debut LP "Einer Sie Gern" cultivates the dark feelings of prosperity after all seems hopeless towards the manifestation of one's own reality. The visual kei industrial duo met in 2011 while attending mortuary school in Dallas Texas during ¶'s decade-tenure in the city's metal scene. After having written the debut's basis in Dallas in 2013, ¶ wondered how to create a new band in Vallejo California, a historic artist city in the north San Francisco Bay Area, to get the songs out in a timely manner. Lillith surprised him with her closet scholarship-earning talent: shredding on vibraphone. After forming the band with ¶ in January 2014, Lillith took the instrument a step further by building a collapsable electronic vibraphone from the ground up and debuting it at SXSW 2014 in Austin Texas. ManifestiV played the famous Viper Room in Hollywood as well as legendary venues all across the San Francisco Bay Area throughout its industrial scene in 2014. They took their debut abroad to Southeast Asia & to stages all over North America throughout their Glacier Tour 2015 and then their PacificA Tour 2016 focusing on the Pacific Northwest US. 2017 sees the duo locked into the studio save a couple festival emergences before releasing their debut's followup & touring it worldwide 2018. In 2019 after the release of "God Is A Martian" EP recorded the previous years in Cotati California at Prairie Sun where Tom Waits won a couple Grammy®s at the turn of the century, Paragraph & Lillith recruited longtime cohorts, Secret Of Boris drummer Ryan A, & bassist Kevin Porter, to join live when available. This began opening for My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult in Dallas Texas at the legendary Trees venue in its Deep Ellum district. After shows varying from duo to quad, the pandemic closed the band into their east Texas farm to write & record their speechless reaction to it, released as the 4 track Horsemen EP in 2021. This caused not only experimental avant garde label GIVE/TAKE to notice their hard work & growth since having met ManifestiV in 2015 on GlacieR tour, but longtime Paragraph & Kevin cohort Lcn1 to collaborate with the band to create a couple releases in 2022, starting with G/T premix release The Bitter Truth & keeping on with its OG counterpart Legacy early 2023. ManifestiV has been hard at work ever since for their next full length release Universe 25, trickling out singles throughout 2025, starting with "Never In History" & "Alpha Intelligence" streaming everywhere.
