Freak Valley 2016: Mantar Added to Lineup
It hasn’t yet been a full month since it was revealed that Mantar had signed to Nuclear Blast to release their sophomore LP, Ode to the Flame, in Spring 2016, but already we’re getting a sense of how the Bremen duo will support it. They’ve been added to the lineup for Freak Valley 2016 and presumably that’s the first of many such appearances to come. Mantar got behind their 2014 debut, Death by Burning (review here), pretty hard, what with touring the US alongside Conan and all, so it’s easy to imagine Ode to the Flame will get much the same treatment. And by that I mean driven forcibly into the ears of audiences in various parts of the world.
They found a good place to start:
Hey Freaks!
We think you deserve a later but heavy X-mas present!!
Here you are: German two-piece wall of Noise and Doom MANTAR are confirmed to play FREAK VALLEY FESTIVAL 2016!!
Ugly, slimy, bumpy and brutal, yet at the same time contains some of the catchiest riffs and melodies you’ll hear this side of the Ganges. If High On Fire, ‘Bleach’ era Nirvana and Darkthrone had a meth fueled orgy this would be it’s offspring.
MANTAR manages to sound heavier than most five piece bands you may know, in spite of the fact that no bass guitar is used. Just drums and guitar set for destruction. Forget about Rock ‘n Roll. This will hurt. Flogging beats and blackened melodies meet feedback orgies and doom mayhem.
