Manuel – Parasite | Follow-Up for Your Consideration

Dear media partners,

I hope you’re doing well. Just a quick follow-up on Manuel’s Parasite, and I’m sharing it again here for your consideration in case it got buried among recent submissions.

If you haven’t had a chance to dive in yet, we’d love for you to give it a spin — and we’re absolutely open to setting up a review or interview if it sparks your interest.

"Parasite" boldly confronts the oppressive grip of the wealthy elite who manipulate and divide us for their own gain. It exposes how those in power intentionally pit us against one another while continuing to grow richer and more dominant. Featuring collaborations with guest vocalists, "PARASITE" showcases MANUEL's ability to seamlessly blend crushing progressive metal with Latin percussion, socially conscious lyricism, and genre-defying experimentation. The EP explores themes of immigrant resilience and cultural pride while delivering unrelenting sonic intensity.

You can stream the EP here and download it here

The digital EP is available on all digital platforms

Let me know if you’re interested or if you need anything else from my end.

Thanks again for considering — really hope it lands with you this time around.
