Mantar – “The Modern Art of Setting Ablaze” [Heavy Haiku Album Review]
If we were to describe Mantar’s new Nuclear Blast release The Modern Art of Setting Ablaze in terms of baseball, we would say that they emphatically knocked it out of the park. It’s searingly brutal.
If I were to describe Mantar’s new release The Modern Art of Setting Ablaze in terms of baseball, I would say that they emphatically knocked it out of the park. It’s searingly brutal. Sludge metal is such a ho hum genre for me to listen to, but this new Mantar offering just raised the bar for everyone that thinks all you need is a Sunn Model T and some Atlas speaker cabinets to make a decent sludge album.
Mantar have hooks, their rhythms cause my head to bob, and each song sounds different from the next. If you’re not up to speed with the group’s two-piece domination at the plate, go find yourself some nachos, grab a seat, and throw in some headphones.
Heavy Haiku Review:
New Mantar kicks ass.
Their heaviest album ever.
Two-piece destruction!
