Mantus - Dark Visions

Review by Martyn Brown

Dark Visions, the latest album from Mantus, is a haunting and captivating journey through the dark corners of the human psyche. With its lush soundscapes and brooding melodies, the album creates a sense of unease and foreboding that is impossible to ignore.

The opening track, "Intro," sets the tone for the album with its ominous, almost cinematic feel. From there, the album takes the listener on a journey through a world of darkness and despair, with tracks like "Black Widow" and "The Devil's Bride" showcasing the band's ability to create haunting and evocative atmospheres.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Last Dance," which features a driving beat and a catchy, almost poppy melody that belies its dark subject matter. The track is a perfect example of Mantus' ability to balance accessibility with their more experimental, gothic sound.

Summary by Martyn Brown

Dark Visions is a powerful and immersive album that will appeal to fans of darkwave, gothic rock, and other forms of dark, atmospheric music. With its rich textures, haunting melodies, and brooding lyrics, it is a must-listen for anyone who loves music that explores the darker side of the human experience.
