SPILL ALBUM REVIEW: MANTAR – POST APOCALYPTIC DEPRESSION

Mantar

MANTAR
POST APOCALYPTIC DEPRESSION
METAL BLADE RECORDS

MANTAR will grab you by the neck and completely throttle you with the release of their full-length album, Post Apocalyptic Depression, via Metal Blade Records. Just drums and guitar—that’s right, no bass. It’ll have your eyes rolling back into your skull.

The thick, dark tracks blend extreme metal, industrial rock, and a hint of punk with surprising vocals. These elements come together to create a powerful and intense sound that captures the raw emotion and energy of the band. The heavy guitar riffs and pounding drums provide a solid foundation for the aggressive yet melodic vocals. The music pushes the boundaries of conventional genres and offers a fresh, invigorating listening experience.

“Halsgericht” is wild; what a track! It’s full-bodied, like a fine wine, with super smooth instrumentals reminiscent of ’90s industrial, which is cool, along with a guttural vocal ballad—simply divine and delicious to devour. Whether or not you’re a MANTAR fan, credit should be given where it’s due. Get amongst it.

About the Author
Victoria Love-Rainbow
I am an avid connoisseur of music experiences but never had the courage to share them until now. My inspiration comes from the '90s alternative and punk rock music I grew up listening to. Bands like The Smashing Pumpkins, Silverchair, Eve 6 and Everclear shaped my worldview and taste in music. I want to capture some of their energy and spirit in my stories. Thanks for checking out my bio and my work!
