MANTAR manages to sound heavier than most 5 piece bands chances are you’ll know, regardless of the truth that no bass guitar is used on this report. Simply drums and guitar set for destruction. Neglect about rock ‘n’ roll. This can damage. Flogging beats and blackened melodies meet suggestions orgies and doom mayhem. Early Melvins, Motörhead, Darkthrone. You title it. Don’t name it sludge although…
