Description/Reviews:
The first three songs hit you (“Itching Soul” should be played on prog radio) and you’re thinking “ok how can this get any better?” That’s when Mantric twists into a modern version of the Beach Boys whilst channeling Failure on the song “Norwegian Dastard.” ... “Down” is a fuzzed out asskicker which still holds to Mantric’s odd style. “The Towering Mountain” is a mix of blasting punk metal and Motorpsycho on acid. It proves that Mantric isn’t about to stop trying different things.Read the full review by Rob at progressivemusicplanet.com
