Norwegian thrashers MANIFEST entered Trøndertun Studio on August 8 with producer Knut Prytz to begin recording their new album. 11 tracks are being recorded for the CD, which is tentatively due in early 2010.

New video footage from the recording studio can be viewed below.

MANIFEST in March announced the addition of bassist Johnny Wangberg (GRIFFIN, WATTAMEZZ) to the group's ranks.

Johnny made his live debut with MANIFEST on March 7 in the band's hometown of Trondheim.

MANIFEST's most recent album, "Hedonism", came out in Norway on December 3, 2007 via Morningstar Records. The follow-up to 2005's "Half Past Violence" was recorded at Spiren Studio with producer Knut "Fug" Prytz. Audio samples from the CD are available for streaming on the band's MySpace page.
