"The Modern Art Of Setting Ablaze" is a blistering CD by the German duo Mantar, released under the banner of renowned label Nuclear Blast. On this album, Mantar deliver a raw, pitch-black hybrid of sludge, black metal and punk-infused extremity, built on crushing riffs, cavernous drums and a fiercely aggressive vocal style. The songs are compact yet overwhelming, oscillating between mid-tempo stomps, relentless blast-driven assaults and menacing, almost ritualistic grooves. Atmosphere and brutality go hand in hand: dissonant guitar walls, noisy feedback and a cold, bleak overall sound create an apocalyptic mood that perfectly matches the album's title. Lyrically and sonically, this CD radiates misanthropy, destruction and a sense of looming catastrophe, making it an intense listening experience for fans of dark, uncompromising heavy music. The production is powerful but deliberately unpolished, preserving the duo's live energy and their minimalist, stripped-to-the-bone approach.
Mantar are a two-piece band formed in Germany, known for creating an enormous, violent sound with just guitar and drums. Within a few years, they have carved out a strong name in the international extreme-metal underground through relentless touring and critically acclaimed releases that stand out for their unique blend of sludge, black and doom metal with a punk attitude. Their earlier albums and constant presence on festival stages have earned them a loyal global following and frequent praise in the metal press for their intensity and authenticity. "The Modern Art Of Setting Ablaze" continues this trajectory, capturing the band at a particularly ferocious and focused stage of their career.
The CD is released by Nuclear Blast, one of the world's leading independent heavy-music labels. Founded in Germany and active for decades, Nuclear Blast has become synonymous with high-quality releases in metal and related genres, working with a wide range of internationally successful bands and helping to shape the global metal landscape. The label is known for strong distribution, elaborate physical editions and a deep connection to the metal community, making this CD a reliable choice for collectors and fans who value both artistic extremity and professional presentation.
