BIO:
Maunah is the sound of despair and open skies. Maunah is leaves crunching underfoot, the cold of the forest floor seeping through the soles. And Maunah is the warmth of the sun on the face and oxygen filling the lungs. In the music, the cold of winter meets the summer warmth in the chest, where Hjarta beats blood through the body and music into the air.
Together, the members of Maunah create a communal meditation on primordial darkness and its uneasy dialogue with hope and human creativity. Maunah entices the listener into an intuitive understanding of a wordless universe, built on tone, atmosphere, and rhythm, in an echo of human languages. The absence of the familiar in the vocals creates a space for a more direct connection with the music, reaching beyond the limits of rational language.
The debut album ‘Hjarta’ is a sensory reminder of the human capacity for both beauty and doom. As such, Hjarta seeks an opening into something greater and older, and functions as an offering of hope in times of dismay.
On September 18, 2026, Maunah is set to release their debut album ‘Hjarta’. The music draws on metal genres such as doom and post-metal, but is also clearly influenced by folk music and alt-rock. The band themselves have labeled it ‘Heartfelt Nordic Doom’! Maunah’s members have a breadth of experience from both in- and outside the metal genre. Additionally, lead vocalist Søren Sol Koldsen-Zederkof has released several critically acclaimed albums under the artist name “Los” and has toured world-wide within the folk genre with the Viking folk band Krauka.
Maunah is represented by Søren Weiss from Nightcrawler Management and is a signed artist on the international label Prophecy Productions.
