German metal duo, Mantar, are pleased to present their video for “Cosmic Abortion.” The track comes off their latest full-length, Post Apocalyptic Depression, released February 14 via Metal Blade Records.
Where 2022’s Pain Is Forever And This Is The End saw the pair bring a sonic richness to their madly heavy blackened death-punk grooves, assisting the record to its position at #2 on Germany’s Official Top 10 album chart, this year’s Post Apocalyptic Depression smashes the palette and punches a hole in the canvas.
“We wanted to do everything different from the last album,” affirms guitarist/vocalist Hanno Klänhardt. “The last album was very produced. A huge sounding record with clean production. Display of power. That was what we wanted and felt at that time. Now we are trying to destroy what we’ve built up with the last album. There is a certain beauty in disappointing people’s expectations.”
Of “Cosmic Abortion” Hanno comments, “The intro riffing is already a classic. One word: epic. Bolt Thrower vibes meet Chaos A.D.-era Sepultura groove. White Zombie? Ok. Brutal ’90s swagger. A beat that breaks necks. The hook is already a live show classic. Slogans make the world go round.”
Post Apocalyptic Depression is available now on CD and digitally as well as vinyl in multiple color variants (some already sold out) and a limited-edition box set. Order here.

Formed in 2013, Mantar has been recognized as one of the hardest working among the German extreme metal underground. Mantar manages to sound heavier than most five piece bands you may know, in spite of the fact that no bass guitar is used on this record. Just drums and guitar set for destruction. Forget about rock ‘n’ roll. This will hurt. Flogging beats and blackened melodies meet feedback orgies and doom mayhem. Early Melvins, Motörhead, Darkthrone. You name it. Don’t call it sludge though…
Mantar lineup:
Hanno Klänhardt – guitars, vocals
Erinc Sakarya – drums
