Metal Reviews

I started this topic to talk about one of the unfairly under-rated bands around!

MANTICORA!!

They are great, have 4 fantastic albuns and there still a lot of metal fans that don't know them!

So I decided to write this topic, because I think they deserve!
Just check the reviews for them in this site and listen to these songs!

They have a new album called 8 Deadly Sin that is fantastic!

Enjoy and suport this band!

A darker Blind Guardian meets Iced Earth is how i would describe them to people who havent heard any of there material.
i have 2 of there albums Hyperion , Root Of Eternity and all it took me was one listen to be a hooked.

They didnt score to well on there last album with metalcovenant.com above is the lnk for the review.I haven,t heard the new album but i will reserve my judgement till i have .I have heard the sample Melancholic and that was very good.

I downloaded all those songs about a half a year ago. They rock my socks off.

I'm just too damn lazy to look to find those albums. And buying a Manticora album has been pushed down to near-bottom of the list of what I want to do under the weight of everything else I've been looking for. Still a good band, though.

I second this. I have all their CDs and they each great in their own way. Highly recommended. One of my favorite bands.

Hyperion is one of the greatest albums ever, and all their albums rule.

Thought i'd promote Manticora a little bit too ;)

Manticora plays a mix of technical speed/thrash/power metal. I had a little difficulty getting into their music at first, but they've slowly become one of my favorite bands.

I'd get '8 Deadly Sins' as i think it's their best and one of 2004's best albums. Not a weak track to be found.

Really original and unknown band that deserves some attention.
