Manfred by The Old Ones

The Old Ones is a unique collaboration unlike anything currently on the scene. We’ve brought together a powerhouse of talent, including the legendary Blaze Bayley (ex-Iron Maiden), Andy LaRocque (King Diamond), Snowy Shaw (ex-King Diamond, Mercyful Fate), Murat Ilkan (Pentagram/Mezarkabul), Rob Lundgren, Krusty (Forgotten Silence), Seba Castillo (Keyscore), Nibsen Solis (Sense Of Noise), Jakub Vácha (Origin Of Infinity), Music Forge, Christian Correa, Louison Chérubin, and others. These icons join forces with other established and rising stars to create a sound that’s both a tribute to the genre’s roots and a fresh exploration of its possibilities.

At the heart of The Old Ones is a captivating project that brings to life Lord Byron's literary masterpiece, "Manfred," first published in 1817. Through a mesmerizing blend of powerful melodies and profound lyrics, the band aims to invite listeners into a world of emotion and storytelling that unites the realms of literature and music.

‘The Old Ones were, the Old Ones are, and the Old Ones shall be.’
