05-01-2024
After the news that they’ll be releasing their next studio album “Mycelium” in January 2024 via Mighty Music, Danish prog/heavy metallers MANTICORA are now back with a new digital single and official video for the album’s title track . “Mycelium” is exclusively premiering at Arrow Lords Of Metal.
Watch the official “Mycelium” video below.
Thrash, prog, power, black, death + pure heavy metal and everything else, your metalheart desires, put into one album, is usually what Manticora is all about. The band, that started out in 1997 – nine albums ago – as a power metal outfit, has transformed and thereby developed their own unique style of heavy metal – a melting pot of everything you want to hear, as a genuine metal fan. Welcome to “Mycelium”
After their grandiose, critically acclaimed two-album concept from 2018/2020 plus a 334-page novel (written by the band’s singer Lars F. Larsen), which the albums were based on – the Danes have scaled down a bit and written another majestic concept album, but this time only spanning a 48-minute mark, in total.
“Mycelium”, the new opus, is less symphonic and with an angrier, raw approach, with aggressiveness as the main-focus. Manticora has created a DIY album, where the only outside influence has been the mastering (done by Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios). Everything else is crafted by the band: concept, lyrics, music, production, artwork – you name it, Manticora provides.

The band comments: “With the concept of the album in mind and with the lyrics for this song, dealing with dark demons, arriving to the Earth, through the Mycelium beneath the soil in the forest, we wanted to display a forest, as eerie and scary as possible, to create a feeling of not wanting to be in that particular place. A place where evil lurks and hell on Earth could emerge.”
A new Manticora album is due in early 2024
