PORTLAND, ME – Rising progressive Latin metal force MANUEL has released the official lyric video for their latest single, "Native Temple," featuring a powerful guest performance by vocalist Ryan Reeves. The track is the second glimpse into the band’s highly anticipated EP, Parasite, set to arrive on February 27, 2026, via Wormholedeath Records. "Native Temple" is a visceral exploration of emotional entropy, masterfully bridging the gap between celestial beauty and the grit of human decay. Featuring a haunting performance by Ryan Reeves, the track serves as a sonic meditation on the "Frostfire", the paralyzing intersection of burning passion and the cold stasis of a dying connection. The song gets deep into the pain of drifting apart, using words like "sutures" and "creases" to describe a relationship breaking at the seams. It’s a powerful look at isolation and how being away from someone can change your whole world, leaving you caught between the warmth of the past and the cold truth of the present. |
