M.A.N: 'Massive Audio Nerve' Artwork Unveiled

February 9, 2010

M.A.N — the group formed out of the ashes of Sweden's TRANSPORT LEAGUE (featuring former MNEMIC frontman Tony Jelencovich) — will release its third album, "Massive Audio Nerve", on March 26 via the German label Tiefdruck Musik. The CD was recorded at Grand Recordings in Gothenburg, Sweden with engineer Svein Jensen and was mixed by Ulrich Wild, who has previously worked with WHITE ZOMBIE, STAIND, STATIC-X, DEFTONES, PANTERA and LIMP BIZKIT, among others. The mastering was handled by Maor Appelbaum at Maor Appelbaum Mastering in Encino, California. The band states, "The sound is insanily good; we are very VERY happy with the outcome."

"Massive Audio Nerve" track listing:

01. Dead Set
02. Don't Wake Up
03. Logocide
04. Last Light Drains
05. Vivid Heart
06. Identical Abuse
07. False Memory Syndrome Pt 1 & 2
08. Slave Program
09. Mock At My Motion
10. Falling, Zero Status Zero

Check out the cover artwork below.

M.A.N will support FEAR FACTORY on the following dates:

Feb. 27 - KB - Malmö, Sweden
Feb. 28 - Brewhouse - Gothenburg, Sweden
Mar. 01 - Debaser Medis - Stockholm, Sweden
Mar. 03 - Nosturi - Helsinki, Finland
Mar. 05 - Pumpehuset - Copenhagen, Denmark

A video for the track "Logocide" will be filmed this coming weekend (February 13-14) at Redbergs Theatre in Gothenburg with director Gabriel Engberg.

M.A.N recently declared itself the very first metal band ever to have incorporated what it calls the "Full Scale Quarter Tone System" into its music — and metal music genre as a whole. According to the group, "'Full Scale Quarter Tone Systems' [our own term] means that there are 24 quarter semi tones, instead of 12 'ordinary' semi tones, within reach of an octave [1200 cent]. This has led to new kinds of expressions and possibilities that have never been heard before, especially when this concept — cultivated and formed by M.A.N — is featured by more than just a solistic issue in order of solo instrumentalist matter or a solo part, but covered by the string instrument section in whole songs, with state of equilibrium with the ordinary semi tone system."
