SAMUEL NYMAN (MANIMAL): “Who Doesn’t Want To Put Their Fist In The Air And Scream, Die! Die! Metal Is Our Destiny?”

Manimal

Half Beast, Half Man

Armageddon is the fourth album by Swedish Power Metal act Manimal. As our own Bryce Van Patten said in the review, “This is a really good album that delivers the goods from start to finish.” I have to firmly agree with that assessment. Manimal have defined their own sound on Armageddon, with shades of influence from Halford and King Diamond. I had the chance to speak with vocalist Samuel Nyman ahead of the album’s official release.
