In their home country of Sweden the melodic metal band´s debut album directly rushed from to #36 in the official charts and paved the way for a promising career. "The Darkest Room" was released at the end of February in Sweden only, now after signing a contract with AFM Records, this brilliant piece of work will be made available worldwide. The album consists of nine tracks which are all characterized by the very typical MANIMAL sound - hard, melodic and with some progressive elements. With "The Darkest Room" MANIMAL breaks new grounds in the well established and distinctive Gothenburg metal scene.
