Mantar – Pain is Forever and This is the End Review

Erinc (drums) and Hanno (vocals, guitars) are back with their most accessible (and yet still extreme) work to date. The approach is the same blackened doom-ish punk but presented in a way more modern and fresh way that fits the extreme alternative metal moniker.

This is a huge step up from the solid but banger-lacking The Modern Art of Setting Ablaze (2018). The production is great, guitars and drums can be fully enjoyed -yep, no bass despite the heavy sound- and the master is not overcompressed ^DR9.
