History & Biography
Iceland's metal scene is a highly incestuous environment and it was no surprise then that the lack of loyalty or devotion affected Mannveira as well. Mannveira was founded in 2010 as Illugi's solo act and released a demo called Von Er Eitur in 2014. Members had come from bands like Abacination and Naðra. Titles and lyrics are in Icelandic. Mannveira and Canada-based Ellorsith shared a split release in 2016. The band toured mainland Europe. Tour partner was Wormlust as the bands shared members. Bassist Axel Franz (Íris Úlfrún Axelsdóttir) departed. It was time for a full-length and Dark Descent helped in 2021. The band became a regular at Iceland's Ascension Festival. Bassist Jón - not to be confused with drummer Jón - joined in 2025. Óskar Þór switched to guitar. The album was called Vítahringur. Vesöld was the 2026 album. Iceland-based death metal band Mannveira and Germany-based Gleichmacher were touring Europe in September of 2026.
