Kasper, Martin and Kristian have recorded some solo parts for Hexfire’s upcoming debut album.
One of the master minds behind Hexfire (Jacob Liszko) says: “First
we got an excellent bass solo from Kasper of Manticora. Now we have
storming guitar solos from Martin and Kristian! If I were to describe
them as guitarists, I would call them real shredders! They’re so fast
that it’s even hard to hear all the notes they play, ha ha. Moreover,
all the harmonic guitar tracks they recorded are amazing. I’m really
impressed!

MANTICORA to release 7th full length album in September
Longstanding Danish metal band MANTICORA have completed the recordings of their 7th full length album, “Safe”, at Jailhouse Studios, once again produced and mixed under the guiding hands of Tommy Hansen (known for Jorn Lande, Helloween, Pretty Maids a.o.).
Following the successful two-part “Black Circus” albums (released in 2006 and 2007 on now defunct Locomotive Music), “Safe” will see the band exploring a darker and heavier side of their songwriting than in recent years, and contrary to the simplicity of the album cover (a black/white cover only showcasing the band-symbol) “Safe” is filled with high-octane technical power-thrash.
The songs on “Safe”, including the 14 minute long title track (Manticora’s longest song to date):
- In The Abyss Of Desperation
- Silence The Freedom
- Complete
- From The Pain Of Loss ( I Learned About The Truth)
- A Lake That Drained
- Carrion Eaters
- Safe
- Embryonic Man (bonus track Japan)
Upon renewing their deal for Japan with Stay Gold / Art Union Records for the release of the album, Manticora have signed with US based label Nightmare Records for the rest of the World. The releases in Europe and North America have been set for September 21st. Stand by for news on the Asian release date.
Also, Manticora has signed with Burrn! Music / Shinko Music Publishing for sub-publishing in Japan and with Enorm Music for sub-publishing in the rest of the World.
In September 2010 Manticora will embark on a headliner tour, presented by Rock Hard Magazine, throughout Europe. Support on the tour will come from Norwegian power/prog band Divided Multitude.
The dates confirmed so far (more to follow):
September 24 2010 - Markthalle, Hamburg, Germany
October 01 2010 - Bastard Club, Osnabrück, Germany
October 02 2010 - The Rock Temple, Kerkrade, Holland
