New Lord Mantis Song

2019-10-17 by Fernando Alves STAFF | 21 Comments
Chicago blackened sludge metal band Lord Mantis are currently streaming the new song "Qliphotic Alpha", taken from their upcoming album Universal Death Church, which will be released on November 22nd, via Profound Lore Records.

Stream "Qliphotic Alpha" here:



Profound Lore Records states: "Universal Death Church sees LORD MANTIS with a new sense of purpose and focus. More developed and immeasurable, vast and towering, Universal Death Church continues the doomed and blackened depraved metal paradigm that has become the signature resonating palpitation surrounding the LORD MANTIS sound. The threading between punishing, torturous yet direct and at times tangible industrial-influenced riffing with the more abstract, dark, blackened surreal-like crawling and swift passages paint a new disturbing sonic portrait for the band. The renewed union of LORD MANTIS became akin to that of repairing tissue of an unnamable and vile organism. Leveling up the beast.

Having that infamous reputation of being one of the more vexed acts within the extreme metal scene, as amassed on previous releases such as 2012’s Pervertor and most-notably their 2014 controversial Death Mask LP, Universal Death Church ups the LORD MANTIS ante in pretty much every category; the intensity, darkness, heaviness, and of course the deviance and degeneracy."

Universal Death Church tracklist:

01. "Santa Muerte"
02. "God's Animal"
03. "Qliphotic Alpha"
04. "Consciousness.exe"
05. "Low Entropy Narcosis"
06. "Damocles Falls"
07. "Fleshworld"
08. "Hole"

Preferred Pevertor to Death Mask, will likely give this a spin for DDDs sake if nothing else.

he is absolutely the best part of this band, riff and songwriting-wise they are not super interesting, though I do think the focus is much more on atmosphere with these guys. Also lol at that transition 3:38, I was like oh what song is playing next, oh that's the same song.

The track is decent, but the first part certainly needs beefier production. After all, why would people listen to this band other than it being fucking heavy?

this band has never had the production to support the weight of their songs

I haven't planned on listening to this to make any kind of comparison, but maybe i'll check it out to see if it changes my opinion of anything.
