Inspired by the personal playlists of his bandmates touring across the USA with 1000 of miles behind them. Manafest’s guitarist ‘John Panzer’ played Manafest some sonically charging remixes which gave birth to the idea of ‘Stones Reloaded’.
“I’ve had remixes done before, but after hearing one of Doug’s remixes, it sounded like a brand new song. Not only did Doug switch up to create new music but he messed with the arrangement of the songs and tones of my voice .’
“It’s one thing to cry when you hear a song for the first time, but hearing a song remixed and the emotion of the music behind it with the music triggered something in me I’d never heard before.’
For Stones Reloaded, I realized there was a compelling opportunity to re-skin Stones and give each song a complete facelift which would highlight lyrics, melodies and emotions completely different than the originals.
At the helm of production of Stones Reloaded is producer Doug Weier (Skillet, Anberlin, Decyfer Down, and We Are Leo). The signature rock vocals of Manafest combined with a the top-notch production of Doug Weier creates a rare Rock/Electronic hybrid.
