Description

The twin guitar work of Kristian Larsen and Flemming Schultz pays much homage to the work of early Metallica, Iced Earth, and maybe a bit of Blind Guardian. This is the driving sound of Manticora, and the layers of guitar make for a huge wall of epic sound. From a thrashy style a la early Metallica, to heavy crunch a la Iced Earth, to soft, sweet acoustic type passages, these guys run the gambit of sound.

The production is stellar - its slick and polished unlike most power metal of this nature. The guitars and drums are WAY up front, giving this it's huge sound, and the singer really has to have some pipes to make himself heard over this sound and has no problem doing so. The drums are superbly recorded - I wish every prog metal band would at least try to obtain a drum sound as thick and powerful as Manticora's sound. -REVIEW FROM PROGRESSIVE WORLD NET
