Norwegian thrashers MANIFEST have announced that the release party for their third album, Written In Blood, will be held at Blæst in the band's hometown Trondheim, on Friday ,October 8th. Support will come from PELAGIC.

Comments the band, “We are really looking forward to the release party, and hope to see as many of our fans and friends there as possible! Support will be by Pelagic, which is a really cool, hard working band from Malvik, just outside of Trondheim. Pelagic guitarist/vocalist Håvard Alvarez Herjuan also contributes with backing vocals on some of the tracks on Written In Blood, so it makes sense to have his band open for us at the release party!”

Manifest recently unveiled the cover artwork and tracklist for Written In Blood. The album will be released in Norway on Monday, October 11th through the band's own label, Violent Media, with distribution from Norway's top metal distributor, Indie Distribution. Pre-orders for Written In Blood are being taken at Platekompaniet.no and CDON.com.

Guitarist Ole Marius Larmerud created the Written In Blood cover: “I was looking for something simple, without all the photoshop special effects, that you see on a lot of front covers these days. I didn`t want it to look like it was computer animated. I like this cover a lot, it`s a simple, old-school metal cover, without a lot of hidden massages. It reminds me of some of the ENTOMBED and SLAYER covers. ”

The tracklist is as follows:

'Tonie Von Adelaine'

'The'll Have To Carry me Home'

'Food For Flies'

'The Worst Is Yet To Come'

'Pitch Black Inside'

'A '45 To Pay The Rent'

'Lullaby (Bedtime For Bastards)'

'Letter From The Grave'

'Irreversible'

'Savage'

'Written In Blood'
