1. Please introduce yourself for anyone who may not know you. Tell us a little bit more about you as a band.
Hello. We're Manumit a metal electronic six piece with heavy guitars, bass, drums and two vocalists doing dynamic clean and screams. Based in and around the Bridgend area. We released a debut album way back in 2014 which had 4 singles feature on Scuzz TV, Metal Hammer among other platforms. After a long hiatus, we returned with a new EP called 'Reditus' in 2024 and have since been working on a follow up album.
2. What made you want to participate in the Metal To The Masses South Wales 2026 campaign? Have you had previous experience? Or is this your first time?
M2TM is a fantastic opportunity for bands of all types of genres to play great shows and grow their audiences. It's also a nice way to develop a network of friends in the music scene. It just so happens to have an amazing grand prize if your band is fortunate enough to go all of the way. Nearly every member of Manumit has taken part in M2TM previously in different bands.
3. M2TM is all about supporting your local scene. How important is the local scene to you as a band?
The local scene is integral to up and coming acts. If there wasn't an active music scene, then growing a fanbase for your music would be far more difficult. It's important to both the bands and fans of the scene to keep it active and thriving. Fans can do that by actively turning up to shows and buying bands merch.
4. We have a slightly different set up this year with Heats/Quarters/Semis taking place at Bunkhouse & Green Rooms. Have you played the venue before or is this your first time? Are you excited to get on those stages?
Both Bunkhouse and Green Rooms have great stages and great vibes. The venues both have great grassroots history and give opportunities to bands like ourselves to play. We will be gracing the Bunkhouse stage for this year's competition and we're more than excited to do that.
5. What are your expectations from being a part of M2TM?
For us, it's just a great opportunity to play. Creating music in a studio is obviously amazing and integral to what we do. But, the real buzz is working together on stage and bringing that music to life. It also feels amazing to bring that music to new listening audiences which is what will happen through Metal 2 The Masses.
6. What would getting to our Day Of Wreckoning final and the possibility of playing Bloodstock Festival 2026 mean to you?
Getting to any final of any competition is amazing. And we'll be extremely fortunate if we do. If we don't, it's because there's a better band who deserved it on the night. The grand prize is a dream come true and any band that gets to do it will have the best time.
7. We encourage all the bands in M2TM to try and check out the other bands, who are you most looking forward to? Who should your fans also try to catch?
There's a whole wealth of amazing bands to check out every year. I'd recommend giving Scratch One Grub, Inscape, House Of Hosts, Risperidrone a listen!
8. Tell us in five words why people should come and see your band?
You will want to mosh
