MANTICORA exclusively premiere “Necropolitans” lyric video
06-12-2023
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 the second digital single and lyric video for “Necropolitans” from the record. “Necropolitans” is the opening track of the album and it’s exclusively premiering at Arrow Lords Of Metal.
Watch the “Necropolitans” lyric video below.
The video was produced by Wayne Joyner, who has done artwork and videos for Dream Theater, Everdawn, ProgPower USA, Scar Symmetry, Static X and Sevendust, among others. “I’ve known Manticora for 18 years and given their history and musical endeavours, I added a Cthuluian vibe to the video – most of the video was created in Unreal Engine, to help tell the story visually and in 3D”, Joyner comments

Thrash, prog, power, black, death + pure heavy metal and everything else, your metalheart desires, is usually what Manticora is all about. The band, which 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.
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
