MANTIC RITUAL Hit The Road Hard In Support Of Debut; More Dates Announced
February 13, 2009, 15 years ago
BraveWords.com has received the following:
Fresh from celebrating their beloved Pittsburgh Steelers’ Super Bowl XLIII victory, Pennsylvania’s own MANTIC RITUAL are hitting the road in support of their upcoming debut album Executioner - due out in North America in March - and will be teaming up with Germany’s DESTRUCTION and Brazil’s KRISIUN to play 30 shows throughout March/April and later with PRO-PAIN and SWORN ENEMY for 38 dates in June/July.
Advanced tickets for BOTH tours are now on sale exclusively at Enterthevault.com. Tickets for the Pro-Pain tour are on sale through March 7th. On March 8th, they will be available through regular ticketing outlets.
Obviously inspired by the early works of thrash veterans SLAYER, METALLICA, MEGADETH and EXODUS, Mantic Ritual are the rising leaders in the new school of old school thrash metal. All the essential elements of what made the thrash metal genre immortal are there: undiluted angst, blind aggression, smoldering speed, adrenaline-inducing drum beats and guitar riffs, barking and tormented lead vocals, backing gang vocals, and best of all, the manic, sweat-drenched, passionately delivered live shows.
View the video for 'One By One' below. Stream three tracks off the debut album - 'Panic', 'Murdered To Death', and 'Next Attack' - online at myspace.com/MANTICRITUAL.
