Nowy kawałek MANTICORE

 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.
