MANAHAN's 17-year-old shredder/vocalist Cory Manahan out of Keswick, Ontario has posted a cover of OZZY OSBOURNE's 'Mama I'm Coming Home'. All instruments were performed by Cory, vocals courtesy of Gary Quinn:

As previously reported, Manahan recently posted a video for the song 'Blinded Life', taken from their debut album, Commence. Manahan spoke to BW&BK; about the clip:

"Here's a video that a fan in the UK made. He took clips from a whole bunch of videos, so this is the closet thing we have to a real music video right now. We're trying to find the right person to do a clip, the plan right now is to record two or three new songs in a few months, do a music video for one of the songs and release a new single."

Manahan will be playing two shows in Toronto, Ontario, on February 18th at Schuey’s Bar and on February 19th at the Blue Moon.

Originally formed in 2008, Manahan is a young power trio from Keswick Ontario. Fronted by 17 year old Cory Manahan, with Kris Merriman on drums and Kevin Whittaker on bass. The group has quickly begun to lay path to metal stardom. With stylistic influences ranging from PANTERA to SLAYER and METALLICA to MEGADETH, Manahan create a unique sound hard to group into any category. Cory Manahan began playing guitar at the age of ten years old. By age 12, he was already playing bars doing cover songs. Though his playing was early influenced by the likes of LED ZEPPELIN and BLACK SABBATH – Cory would use these as stepping stones to form the style that became Manahan.

With the new album entitled Commence newly released, Manahan are set to take on the world. The album is straight from the heart. Cory Manahan and Dan Preston worked for months making it the best album it could be. With lyrical content ranging from important subjects as substance abuse to perseverance, Commence provides an artistic in depth look at some of the darkest sides of society. Manahan are ready and poised to continue their trek to the top. It's been a non stop thrill ride for the young trio, and only time will tell where they will end up.

Commence was released last August and is now streaming on the band’s Myspace page. The CD was produced by Dan Preston and Cory Manahan and Mastered by Maor Appelbaum (HALFORD,YNGWIE MALMSTEEN). The album is also available on iTunes.
