Manaus are an Alt/Psych/Doom rock band from Macerata, formed in 2018, who aim to exorcise the ghosts of the soul through their music. The band was founded by Miriana Santamaria (vocals and bass) and Daniel Sick (guitar), both formerly of VoodooPank. They were soon joined by Micol Ottina (drums), who was replaced in 2022 by Eugenio Bordacconi.

After a period of live performances in the Macerata area and two EPs, the power trio signed with Overdub Recordings, on which their debut album “Manaus” (2024) will be released. Their influences range from the heavy rock of Pentagram to Blue Oyster Cult, from TAD to Spaceman 3.

Dystopian, swirling guitars create a claustrophobic atmosphere, guided by an ethereal yet raw voice: an alternation of drawn-out, dreamlike moments and tight, relentless passages.
