The band themselves describes their music: "Manzana is about passion. We dream of making music that can be felt in your ass, in your throat, in your feet. Music that makes your head explode with energy, love end power. Music that makes you strong and proud. That?s how we wanna feel. Manzana means an apple. It?s fresh, sour ,juicy, fleshy. It feeds hunger. We are about passion and lust for life and music. We play cause we wanna play. We make 90?s melodic rockmetal. Again. We don?t care. As long as it feels right. To make the long story short, with or without music- we?d be in gutter. There?s nothing to loose. For you either!"
