The exciting new release from Nikki Manos

Nikki Manos is the LA-based musical producer and alter-alias of Ironfist. Manos is an expert at creating a distinctive, dramatic and harmonious world by combination of alluring vocals, mesmerising synthesisers, and a compelling genre-cocktail of blues, country and alternative rock.

Manos expresses his main musical inspirations as American Desert and Westerns, but draws motivation from other musical influences including the likes of Ennio Morricone, Waylon Jennings, and Deadbeat.

Rebel’s Twilight is an energetic tribute to salvation. Written and primarily produced by Manos, with lyrical contributions from Nashville-based producer Dave Austin, this extremely well put-together harmony seamlessly crosses and fuses a mix of genres to provide its audiences with a spectacular audio experience.

Explaining his past that ties into a motivation for this album, Manos explains: “When I was a kid, my grandpa and I used to watch westerns every night. I loved having that time and those memories with him. We had a massive falling out during the George Floyd protests. Until that point, he was rigid conservative, and I could not condone his support of far right politics, but once the protesters were pepper-sprayed in Washington DC during the height of the pandemic, he disavowed those ideologies and admitted he was wrong for condoning any part of what was happening with the Republican Party.”

Adding, “Then, suddenly right after, he passed away. It was much later that I realised this was my way of honouring him and his impact on my life. He was a rare breed of man that valued principle, character, and humanity. The character of Nikki Manos is directly based on him.”
