Press Reviews Review in Listen.com:Finland's Manitou infuse the spirit of the listenerwith their intelli-metal that combines castle-storming melodies with more chops than Prom Night at Benihana's. - Jon P. Review in www.mp3.com 11-18-99 07:40 AM by Caracass What these guys lack in humility (or maybe English language skills) they more than make up for in talent.Their music reminds me of Fates Warning (Shade of Grey and earlier stuff). It's good to hear a band that actually bothers to compose, practice and those other things that you don't hear bands doing enough ofthesedays.This is by far in the top 10 of the bands that I've heard on MP3.com.
