Dark Force Fest 2026 Band Announcement:
Anders Manga [North Carolina] | @andersmanga
Anders Manga is a defining voice in the American darkwave underground. Known for his brooding baritone, hypnotic synthwork, and love of vintage horror, he has carved out a cult following through decades of fiercely independent releases. His signature blend of gothic rock, retro electronics, and cinematic atmosphere continues to resonate with listeners across the globe.
Beyond his acclaimed solo work, Manga is also the founder of Coffin Moth, Terrortron, and the horror rock project Bloody Hammers, which has performed at major festivals across Europe and released albums through labels such as Napalm Records.
Dark Force Fest marks his first U.S. live performance since opening for Nitzer Ebb in 2009—a rare appearance from an artist whose catalog has haunted playlists and dancefloors for over two decades.

Fall vibes teasing here in the mountains! Still working hard on trying to get this new album out by fall. In the meantime, I've dropped a few singles on streaming. All my best to you! 🖤
