Manifestiv - Too Many Took (Sean Ephram Remix)

ManifestiV formed as a visual kei industrial duo in Vallejo, California early 2014 by two morticians that met years prior in Dallas, Texas. Paragraph, guitarist & programmer, joined forces with Lillith, vibraphonist & visual artist. Paragraph wrote & tracked their debut Einer Sie Gern with Lillith while she built her vibraphone from an old set of keys that survived a marching band's trailer's totaling, in tandem with a custom oak hardwood flooring frame & K&K Sound pickups to make it electric. After a bit of US touring, the duo relocated back to Dallas (where they met) to write more music amidst longtime friends & influences.

After having recorded their sophomore release God Is A Martian at Prairie Sun (the go-to studio for Les Claypool of Primus, Tom Waits & more), the duo continued touring extensively amidst visits to Southeast Asia, Europe, Central America & Burning Man to help craft their sound influenced by tribal living and industrial strength. After releasing remixes & a Radiohead cover on 3vE in 2019, they recruited drummer Ryan A & bassist Kevin Porter from Paragraph's other band Secret Of Boris, debuting the four-piece lineup opening for Curse Mackey and My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult at Deep Ellum's legendary Trees. Since then, the band also played with Mortiis, Living Dead Girl, and Stabbing Westward.

The four piece recorded Horsemen 2021 at ¶ & Lillith's 2 acre east Texan post-pandemic vegetable & egg farm, reading the writing on the wall and adding to it speechlessly, save a 'secret track' message on the State of the Planet from the UN Secretary General. This inspired the reunion of Lcn1 with ¶ & Kevin, who had recorded with him a score before. Demos for the new record in 2022 spawned a pre-mix album The Bitter Truth foreshadowing the 2023 epic dirge Legacy LP, both highlighting what humanity is leaving behind with its current trajectory.

With five live ManifestiV members in tow, work on new music persists throughout 2025. ManifestiV reminds all they encounter that anyone can celebrate their abilities to manifest their own destinies through careful & clear communication, self-care, compassion and journeys to enlightenment one step at a time, all enhanced by embracing realities & enhancing awareness as the apocalypse unfolds.
