French underground entity spearheaded by Shaxul of Manzer fame have entered an alliance with Transcending Obscurity for the maximum promotion of their releases, starting with Manzer‘s ‘Pictavian Chronicles – Volume 1’ CD compiling the band’s very potent and energetic earlier material, most of which is out of print and much sought after now. Their brand of fused black metal remains interesting and takes the best from all close styles and serves it in a manner that refuses to get old.  Manzer have toured India very recently and played shows in Mumbai, Bangalore and Kolkata, even Nepal and enthralled all audiences with their heavy metal-discharged black/thrash music. Both the band and the label(s) have an impressive slew of high quality releases and re-issues of cult masterpieces in their catalog, which have been furthermore secured for distribution in the Indian sub-continent.
