Manifesto is the fourth full-length studio album by German melodic death metal band Deadlock.

It was released by Lifeforce Records on 17 November 2008 in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Japan, and on 20 January 2009 in the United States.

[6] It is Deadlock's last release to feature longtime band member Thomas Huschka on bass.

While some had unfavorably critiqued its highly experimental approach,[2][7] others praised its departure from the melodic death metal style which was prominent during the mid-2000s.

"[3] Eduardo Rivadavia of AllMusic was not as enthusiastic however, stating that despite its "oftentimes brave and unquestionably well-intentioned efforts", the diverse influences "feel too forced and scattered [...] to shake up those tired metalcore formulas".
