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 could know, despite the truth that no bass guitar is used on this file. Simply drums and guitar set for destruction. Overlook about rock ‘n’ roll. It will harm. Flogging beats and blackened melodies meet suggestions orgies and doom mayhem. Early Melvins, Motörhead, Darkthrone. You title it. Don’t name it sludge although…
