Today, long-running Ohio black/death cult Manticore reveal the new track "Empty
Eyes, Hollow Temples." The track is the first to
be revealed from the band's long-awaited fourth album, Endless Scourge of Torment, which
will see release this year through Hells Headbangers.
Hear Manticore's "Empty Eyes,
Hollow Temples" in its entirety HERE
at Hells Headbangers' official
YouTube channel.
Formed at the dawn of the new millennium, Manticore
have been a persistent and prolific force in the black/death
underground, always sticking to their guns and defying convention with quality
over quantity. That they released their pivotal Ritual Cleansing of the Whore EP
through Judas Iscariot's late/great Breath of Night label in 2002 should not go
understated: from the very beginning, Manticore managed
to create a wild 'n' warring sound that marries the muscularity of death metal
with the graven aura of black metal, all performed with possessed and
ritualistic execution. And although they're just now set to release their
fourth full-length, the power-trio have released a treasure trove of splits
with the likes of Morbosidad, Bestial Mockery, Grave Upheaval, Sweden's Kill,
Canada's Necroholocaust, and Obeisance among others, underlining their
dedication to the true underground, when tape-trading, zines, and fliers were
still king.
"The more things change, the more they stay the same," or so the
cliche goes. That "black/death" underground has undoubtedly changed
since the year 2000, but Manticore are
still here - still potent, still feral, still very much Manticore. This is the Endless Scourge of Torment the
faithful deserve!
Release date, cover, tracklisting, and preorder info for Endless Scourge of Torment to
be announced shortly.
