Demut

With undiminished, exuberant creativity and strength, Mantus release their 2010 masterpiece even as the last sounds of Requiem have barely faded away. The production is extremely impressive and emphasizes the expressive depth of the musical and lyrical world of Mantus all too clearly. It's just a case of turning up the volume, closing your eyes and immersing yourself in the powerful songs which leave out no emotion, from somber mourning, playful tenderness to melancholy daydreaming. Mantus are once again on top of their game and raise the bar somewhat higher than on their last album.
