about
Manhattan Skyline is a norwegian mathcore band, based in Oslo that use their influences from metal, hardcore, contemporary music, jazz/fusion, electronica/gabba and subconciously (but luckily rarelyand only drum-wise) the odd hip hop to create a unique blend of hard-hitting rock for the likes of the Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge and Botch, but also with mellow passages reminiscent of Cult Of Luna and Red Sparrowes. After their performance at the 2005 Bodø Hardcorefestival they were praised as "One of the fastest and most technical bands in Norway today" by The Faceless Masses, and they will definitely try to live up to that description whith their forthcoming debut full-length album. Past: Manhattan Skyline was formed in 2002 in the norwegian city of Oslo, by drummer Steffen, guitarist Fredrik and vocalist Hans Marius. After playing in a bunch of crappy hardcore/metal/punk bands that didn't go nowhere, they decided to start a band that would challenge them a lot more than their previous bands. Further down the road members of Kaospilot, Slingshot Idol, The Break Quintet and Next Life joined (and left). In october 2003 they recorded their debut release, wich turned out as the "Tarantula Arms ep". This was a 3" mcd that consisted of seven songs featuring off-time rythm patterns, furious riffage and a whole lot of intensity. Bassist Anders, (bass stand-in for a long time, now ripping it up in Kaospilot..) and guitar player Christian, parted with the band after a while. Afte
