MANINNYA BLADE - Undead, Unborn, Alive... (2006) SWE

Best of/Compilation, Marquee Records
The Swedish thrash/speed metal pioneers Maninnya Blade was formed in the early 1980s, and is now considered as one of the first thrash metal bands from Sweden.
The single "Barbarian/Ripper Attack" and the full length vinyl "Merchants In Metal" were released before splitting up. Their reputation is however such, that they were never forgotten, and a couple of compilations were released in the 2000s.
Included were earlier unreleased demo tracks on the 2001 release "A Demonic Mistress From The Past" as well as live tracks from 2002 on the 2006 2CD release "Undead, Unborn, Alive...".(from: www.wikipedia.org)
Maninnya Blade was formed in the small town Boden in northern Sweden by Leif Eriksson on vocals and guitar, Jan "Blomman" Blomqvist on bass, Nicke Johansson on lead guitar and Ingemar Lundberg on drums. The estabished culture community considered their music as unnecessary noise, but the band soon became known as hard working stubborn metalheads doing lots of local performances and demo recordings.
Exclusive 2CD compilation with all tracks from all previous vinyl releases, unreleased studio tracks and live recordings from the 2002 reunion gigs.
Everything digitally remastered of course.
