CHRIS MANNING - REQUIEM OF TIME

NoLifeTilMetal Records is proud to announce the release of Requiem of Time, the new album from melodic rock guitarist, songwriter, and recording artist Chris Manning. Following his previous NoLifeTilMetal releases, Requiem of Time continues Manning's evolution as a guitar-driven hard rock artist with a strong sense of melody, atmosphere, and cinematic direction. The album brings together classic hard rock influence, melodic metal energy, progressive textures, and Manning's signature approach to thematic guitar work. Once again, Manning teams with vocalist and co-writer Cris Hodges, whose powerful vocal performances and melodic hooks help shape the album's vocal-driven material. Requiem of Time features guest musicians Bruce Kulick on "Frequency," Jimmy Haslip on "Ghosts of Dragon Lake," and Dug Pinnick on "Fool's Gold." The album also features Rick Read on bass and keys, Max Saidi on drums, Tim Beamguard on acoustic guitar, Aiden Hass on select rhythm guitar, and David Downum on bass. Produced by Chris Manning and Eric Delegard, executive produced by Bill Bafford, mixed by Eric Delegard at Reel Time Audio, and mastered by Rob Colwell, Requiem of Time presents Manning's most expansive album to date. It is a melodic hard rock record built around strong songs, cinematic textures, dynamic vocals, and the enduring power of guitar-based music. "Chris Manning is a unique guitarist with a visionary approach to his music. His attention to every detail is admirable, and it has been a pleasure to help him develop and shape his talent over the years." - Bruce Kulick (KISS, Union, Grand Funk Railroad) "It was awesome to work on 'Ghosts of Dragon Lake' for guitarist extraordinaire Chris Manning's new release! An exquisite sonic and textural landscape overall and superbly produced by Chris himself." - Jimmy Haslip (Allan Holdsworth, Marty Friedman) "Chris Manning is not only a shredder, but he is also a masterclass songwriter. We at NoLifeTilMetal Records love Chris' music." - Scott Waters (NoLifeTilMetal)
