Inspired by Rob Halford, Geoff Tate or Michael Kiske among others, Nymanâs voice oozes aplomb and pure passion, blending perfectly with the intelligent songwriting, courtesy of guitarist Henrik Stenroos, a true riff icon whose hooks and licks provide the foundation for MANIMALâs songs. Equally important for the groupâs typical flair are drummer AndrĂ© Holmqvist and bassist Kenny Boufadene. Holmqvist has a tight, powerful drum style that comes surprisingly close to paragons such as Tommy Lee and Mike Portnoy while Boufadene is also in charge of mixing MANIMALâs latest- and also the new upcoming album and produces his bandâs videos at his Studio Meltdown in Sweden.
