MANTIC RITUAL - Live Footage Featuring New Vocalist/Guitarist Dave Watson Now Available
November 25, 2009, 14 years ago
Live video footage of MANTIC RITUAL’s new vocalist/guitarist Dave Watson can be viewed below. The band is performing 'Souls', a track off of their 2009 debut album, Executioner, at the Smiling Moose in Pittsburgh on Halloween night. Footage was taken by Jon Orner and Todd Kappelt.
States guitarist Jeff Potts: "'Souls’ has been a standard in our setlist and it's really grown on us since we started touring a lot this year. The song originally debuted 3 years ago in a VFW in Monaca, near Pittsburgh in February of 2006. While it was written before Dave [Watson] joined the band, he did mix the first demo of it [when the band was still called MELTDOWN]. We have two new songs in our live set. One is called ‘The Faceless God’ and the other is ‘Descent To Dawn’. We also have a new cover song in our arsenal! Showing that we can write and play better than ever is important. Also, we just feel that it's been far too long since we've had some new material in the set. We've all had some ideas lately and we're excited to get back into writing mode.”
