Manifesto (Deadlock album)
Manifesto is the fourth full-length studio album by Deadlock. It was released in November 2008. The song "Deathrace" features rapping, while the song "Dying Breed" features clean vocals from former Scar Symmetry vocalist Christian Älvestam, and the song "Fire at will" has a saxophone solo. It also includes a cover of The Sisters of Mercy's "Temple of Love". The track "The Brave/Agony Applause" is the first single off the album and has a music video. They promoted "Manifesto" by playing one new song off the album each day on their MySpace until its European release.
It is Deadlock's last release to feature longtime band member Thomas Huschka on bass.
