The third single from Mandy Manala is here – »The Lighthouse« shines with haunting melodies, stoner rock grooves, and cinematic gothic flair. A taste of what’s to come from their highly anticipated debut album!
Says the band: “»The Lighthouse« draws inspiration from the haunting atmosphere of The Lighthouse (2019) – madness, isolation, and the pull of the unknown. Expect brooding riffs, hypnotic vocals, and a descent into the fog-soaked psyche. Let it guide you… or drown you.”
Finland’s rising heavy rock force, Mandy Manala, is set for release of their self-titled debut on May 23, 2025 via Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records. It will be available exclusively on colored vinyl and digital streaming platforms.
