Pain Is Forever and This Is the End

Description

Founded in 2012 by guitarist/vocalist Hanno Klänhardt and drummer/vocalist Erinc Sakarya, MANTAR is among the leading forces in extreme metal of the last decade. Adored by fans and press alike, the band has taken the world by storm with their truly unique sound, leading them to the Top 10 of the Official German Album Charts with “The Modern Art Of Setting Ablaze” in 2018 and sold-out headline shows all over Europe. While they’ve pushed boundaries on each and every release, “Pain Is Forever And This Is The End” is MANTAR’s most accomplished output to date. “I just knew I wanted to write stronger "songs" in terms of songwriting and less rely on being an "extreme" metal band that only convinces through a certain sound or general "heaviness",” Hanno notes. “I put more time into trying to write better songs, interesting structures, and catchy tunes.” The results speak for themselves. This is MANTAR’s most diverse and interesting album to date, taking them to the next level.
