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 a Top 10 spot on the official German album charts with "The Modern Art Of Setting Ablaze" in 2018 and sold-out shows across Europe. While they have pushed the boundaries on every release, "Pain Is Forever And This Is The End" is MANTAR's most accomplished release to date. "I just knew that I wanted to write stronger "songs" in terms of songwriting and rely less on just being an "extreme" metal band that only convinces with a certain sound or general "heaviness," notes Hanno. "I invested more time 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.
