“Send Your Sons to Bury Your Daughters” explores the corruption of righteousness, the slow transformation of human beings into monsters, and the devastating consequences of hatred. As resentment turns into fanaticism, neighbours become enemies, and brother turns against brother, leaving behind a world where humanity itself becomes a casualty
The Harlot’s Wake features eight tracks clocking in at over 40 minutes of theological and psychological decay. The album is a bleak exploration of the human condition. Small glimmers of hope, but the ultimate death of everything lurks to beseech every joyous thought

About MANNKVERN
Founded by Orkana V of Man Gremmes Kan, Nattsol, Gnipaheller, and ex-Ragnarok live, Mannkvern is the culmination of a six-year creative gestation following Orkana V’s relocation from Norway to Poland. What began as a solitary studio endeavor has evolved into a formidable blackened entity, blending uncompromising aggression with atmospheric influences drawn from Eastern black metal, Norwegian black metal, and old hymnals.
The Harlot’s Wake features seven tracks clocking in at over 40 minutes of theological and psychological decay. Enlisting the precision of session drummer K. Voster, the album is a bleak exploration of the human condition. Lyrical themes draw deep from the wells of the New Testament, Dostoevsky, and Orwell, examining mankind’s inevitable reversion into primal, atavistic patterns.
“The album chronicles our inherent pull toward suffering and our need to believe in failing systems,” says Orkana V. From the frontline panic and desperate scripture recitations of “The Former Things Have Passed Away” to the raw, predatory instincts explored in “Masochistic Displeasure,” the record offers a grim mirror to the modern soul.
The debut also features a guest appearance by Raum (Noen Hater Oss, Sjelferd), Embor of Mother Ov Light, Hellgrave of underground act Grave Silence, and Maurice Wilson of German expeditionaries Antrisch, adding further depth to the album’s varied vocal landscape and furious guitar work. Mannkvern is currently finalizing a live lineup and looking to play live beginning in 2027.
Lineup:
Orkana V – Guitars, vocals, bass.

Voster: Drums
