Campaign Story

HELP US BRAVE THE STORM!

We are Manora, a symphonic metal band from the Netherlands. In 2017 we released our first EP called Dreamshapes, and have been performing on various stages in the Netherlands. Throughout the years we’ve been writing a bunch of new songs, and we’re ready to share them with you on our first full length album, which will be called “Brave the Storm”.

The songs are almost finished and some are already recorded. We can’t wait to share them with you!

The only thing we need is the funds to cover the costs of the production of this album. That’s why we decided to start this crowdfunding campaign!

WHAT DO WE NEED?

Because we are an independent band, without a label and the required budget to do fund the production of this album on our own, we kindly ask for your help.

In total we will need €8.500,-. This will cover the costs of:

• Audio recording
• Mixing and mastering
• Artwork
• Production of merch (cd’s, shirts, etc.)
• Marketing
• Photoshoot

We’ve also set some stretch goals:

€10.000: We will make a lyric video!

€12.500: We will record a music video!

WHAT DO YOU GET?

Of course, in return for your support, we want to offer you some cool rewards. We’ve created several packages to choose from. Every package will include:

• Digital album + booklet
• Online thank you list
• The chance to download the album one week before the official release.

Every physical package will include a signed CD!

You can also choose to donate without receiving a reward, by using the “donate” button.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

On the right side of this page (for mobile version, scroll down), you can select your reward. If you don’t want to receive a reward, but you want to contribute, you can use the “donate” button on the top of this page.

No shipping costs will apply for orders from the Netherlands. For purchases from other EU countries, €5,- shipping costs will be charged, and for shipping to non-EU countries, €8,- will be charged.

PLEASE NOTE: Are you donating without purchasing a reward (package) or are you ordering the digital package? Please make sure that you don’t enter your address if you’re ordering from a country other than the Netherlands. Shipping costs are automatically charged for all rewards when entering a foreign address, which we unfortunately cannot change.

If you want to help us, but you aren’t able to contribute financially, it would help us a lot if you share our campaign with your friends or family!

RELEASE

We expect to release BRAVE THE STORM in the summer of 2021. The official release date will be announced later, along with more information about shipping dates.

We are very excited to make this dream become a reality, and we thank you in advance for your amazing support!
