Manntis is a metalcore band from Riverside, California. The band formed in 2000 with four members. They later decided to bring in another guitarist. At first their popularity began by word of mouth when they played at parties for their friends. Then they were selected as one of the bands to compete on MTV's the Battle for Ozzfest. Their lead guitarist Adair Cobley was picked as the representative for the band on the show. Manntis was one of the top 3 contestants before the winner was chosen and lost to the members of Curse Your Name (formerly known as Cynder) and A Dozen Furies. They have one CD out at the moment entitled Sleep in Your Grave. The CD also has the acoustic song written by Adair that was presented in front of Rob Halford of Judas Priest during the ozzfest show called "The End's Where it Begins". Currently, the band is in the pre-production stage of their new album to be released in Spring 2007 titled Master of Ceremonies.
