Some debuts are just a statement of intent. 'Garden of Starvation' by MAN’N SIN is a full-blown declaration of war—a five-year-old album that still sounds timeless. Maximum Effort is thrilled to bring this hidden gem back into the spotlight.
Formed in Rennes, France, in 2015, MAN’N SIN found their own lane between the crushing groove of Lamb Of God and Machine Head and the progressive edge of hardcore and thrash. After a year and a half of dedicated writing, they delivered a debut that is both punishing and unpredictable.
'Garden of Starvation' is an album of dynamic contrasts. The journey begins with the epic, cinematic title track, full of orchestral touches and a face-melting solo. But the band keeps you guessing with every turn: from a dark, spoken-word track with a Tim Burton vibe to a high-octane song that recalls the storytelling of Children of Bodom. This is not a one-dimensional record. Instead, it’s a confident and dynamic mix of styles, proving that the classic sound of the late 2000s is still fresh and vital in their hands.
If you crave the power of Machine Head and the precision of Pantera, 'Garden of Starvation' is your next obsession. It's a testament to a band that knows how to create a rich, punchy, and utterly compelling sound.
