Hanno of Mantar states:

Monstrous black/doom/punk chimaera Mantar have released the first single off of the band's new album, “The Modern Art of Setting Ablaze”, which is set to be unleashed on August 24th, 2018, via Nuclear Blast.

Stated singer/guitarist Hanno: “We decided to keep the video simple. Set up, play, destroy - pretty much exactly what we do all the time anyway. The song itself is a hard-line in your face kinda thing, so we thought we'd just show the band playing to point out our strengths. Some people claim that we turn into quite ugly animals while performing, so we decided to feature this flattering accusation. Enjoy!”...

Monstrous black/doom/punk chimera Mantar have announced the details for their upcoming third studio album.

The band's new album will be entitled “The Modern Art of Setting Ablaze”, include 12 songs and is set to be unleashed on August 24th, 2018, via Nuclear Blast.

“The Modern Art of Setting Ablaze” is a title in-keeping with Hanno’s symbolic obsession with fire on albums previous; this time disavowing mankind’s tendency to blindly follow those that would lead us into oblivion. This isn’t necessarily a political statement; more a morbid fascination with current smouldering tensions that threaten to set the minds of the masses on fire.

On June 16th, 2017, Brooklyn’s Tombs will release their fourth full-length, “The Grand Annihilation”, via Metal Blade Records.

Produced once again by Erik Rutan (Cannibal Corpse, Soilent Green, Belphegor, Hate Eternal), “The Grand Annihilation” remains rooted in the blackened, post-metallic sound that the band has become known for since 2007′s self-titled EP, while also being their most experimental record to-date.

Check out the first single, “Cold”, below.

Atlanta's finest, Whores., have announced a brand new batch of headlining tour dates today in continued support of their new LP that came out late last year.

Dates kick off on May 12th in their hometown of Atlanta, GA and stretch coast to coast before wrapping up in Dallas, TX on June 11th. Support will come from Miami, Florida's Wrong (members of Torche) and Bummer from Kansas City, MO.

Responsible for the haunting cover art is renowned artist Aaron Wiesenfeld, who was also responsible for Mantar's debut record's artwork.
