Here Lies Man
Last updated: 2 hours ago
LA-based quartet Here Lies Man emerged in 2017 with a hypnotic sound that married West African rhythms and harmony to the riff-based architecture of hard rock. The band grew increasingly psychedelic and smoky in their production, sounding like a sinister hybrid of metal mayhem and African traditions on their 2018 sophomore album, You Will Know Nothing.
Here Lies Man was conceptualized and founded by guitarist/composer/arranger Marcos Garcia (aka Chico Mann) of Antibalas merging West African sounds and metallic guitar riffing to create an intense, danceable, and trance-like musical persona. Formed in 2015 and featuring Garcia on guitar, Geoff Mann (son of Herbie Mann) on drums and percussion, Doug Organ on keys, and JP Maramba on bass, the group's April 2017 self-titled debut full-length was issued by Riding Easy Records. The Animal Noises EP arrived later that November, with the hard-touring (and -recording) crew delivering another full-length blast of Sabbathy Afrobeat in 2018 via their sophomore effort, You Will Know Nothing. The band returned with third album No Ground to Walk Upon in the summer of 2019, incorporating touches of boogie, funk, and dub into their Afro-metal sound. Their latest album, Ritual Divination, is expected to be released in January 2021.
