Mantric Releasing New Album "Sin"

Mantric is an experimental prog trio from Oslo, Norway comprised of three-fifths of Extol: vocalist/guitarist Ole Sveen, guitarist/vocalist Tor Glidje and bassist/vocalist John Mjåland.

The three have been playing together for more than 20 years now, first in progressive black-metal group Lengsel, then in prog-metal innovators Extol, having contributed to the band’s classic album “The Blueprint Dives,” before disbanding in 2007.

Formed in that same year, Mantric picks up where they left off on “The Blueprint Dives,” determined to push boundaries and avoid easy categorization. The band’s debut album under the name Mantric, “The Descent”, was released in 2010 and clearly reflects such unbreakable artistic vision, fusing a unique, experimental metal sound with some challenging and powerful proggy tones, though this new incarnation sounds more refined and cultivated than before.

Now five years later, Mantric is set to return with a second full-length titled “Sin," due out September 25, 2015. The track listing is:

1. FaithFaker
2. On The Horizon
3. Give Me Eyes
4. Arrogance vs. Anxiety
5. Die Old
6. Maranatha
7. Anhedoniac
8. In The Shadow Of My Soul
9. Black Eyes
