That which accumulated during the years of tranquility and
silence seems to have been quite something! With undiminished,
exuberant creativity and strength, MANTUS release their latest
masterpiece, "Demut", even as the last sounds of "Requiem" have
barely faded away.
On "Demut", MANTUS continue the lyrical themes of ?Requiem? in
that they grapple with the subject matter of the ?vanitas? art
movement of the 16th and 17th centuries, which held that man
should visualise the finality of all things and that death
stands by as the omnipresent power over us all, so as to teach
us humility (Demut in German). Nevertheless, or perhaps indeed
because of this, MANTUS have created an extremely powerful,
indeed rocking album.
Once again, melancholy, classical arrangements come up against
metallic guitars; piano chords and indescribable harmonies meet
powerful rhythms and rock hooklines meet emotional vocals. The
production is extremely impressive and emphasises the expressive
depth of the musical and lyrical world of MANTUS all too
clearly. Its just a case of turning up the volume, closing your
eyes and immersing yourself in the powerful songs which leave
out no emotion, from sombre mourning, playful tenderness to
melancholy daydreaming.
