Maninnya Blade

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".

A reunion including recording of new material has been made in 2007.
