German heavy rock/alt duo MANTAR will be releasing a new album in early 2025. It is titled Post Apocalyptic Depression, and TGEFM hopes to hell that’s just a name and not a prognostication. It is due out 14 Feb 2024 via Metal Blade Records, and the band has released the first single and video from the album, “Halsgericht.”
PAD will follow 2022’s Pain is Forever and This is the End LP, and 2023’s lone single “Valhalla Hammering.”
Hear the single below, and swing by their Bandcamp to preorder the album as a digital download, or the Metal Blade store where physical and merch bundles are available.
