Artist Presentation : Manic Movement

Belgium based gothic rock band Manic Movement has earned themselves a steadily growing following by offering powerful guitar driven songs with bombastic arrangements, hooking vocals with pop melodies and by adding their own trademark blend to the sound. The contrast between female vocals and powerful music is maybe not new, but they certainly deliver it well!

Founding member and composer Olivier Wittenberg (drums) started Manic Movement in 1993 and worked with various musicians on the different albums. Filip De Graeve (keyboards) has become a permanent member since 1998 and assists Olivier with the arrangements and orchestration.
