Check out “Halsgericht” by Mantar

One of the few duo-powerhouses in modern metal, Mantar will release a new record in early 2025:  Post Apocalyptic Depression will be out on February 14th, 2025 via Metal Blade Records

As a precursor to the record’s release, MANTAR released the first single, “Halsgericht.” Comments Hanno, “The title means something like ‘the right to impose extra heavy punishment.’ MANTAR style.

Old fashioned darkness. It’s fun to not only finally work with a German song title but also introduce some German lines to the song. It makes it weird and sinister. Just what we like. Especially in the US, people seem to love these kinda vibes. Fine by us. Celebrating it with the most epic hook of the whole album.”
