Shaped in 2013, MANTAR has been acknowledged as one of many hardest working among the many German excessive steel underground. MANTAR manages to sound heavier than most 5 piece bands you might know, despite the truth that no bass guitar is used on this document. Simply drums and guitar set for destruction. Neglect about rock ‘n’ roll. This can harm. Flogging beats and blackened melodies meet suggestions orgies and doom mayhem. Early Melvins, Motörhead, Darkthrone. You identify it. Don’t name it sludge although…
