Mantah

Alcatraz Line up: 2023, 2024

Mantah is the brainchild of ex-Spoil Engine guitarist Bart Vandeportaele and Fields of Troy throat Sven Herssens and emerged in 2019. With the single ‘Game Over’ the Belgian act gave the current alt metal scene a contemporary touch. Their musical style is described as modern metal with a nod to the 90s. Expect heavy, pounding music and gripping and varied vocals and melodies. Mantah themselves describe their output as an amalgam of ‘new’ and ‘nu’. They take inspiration from nu-metal giants such as Korn, Linkin Park, Slipknot and Static-X but more recent offshoots such as While She Sleeps, BMtH and I Prevail are also subtly incorporated. Their love of electronic music also shines through, hence the use of breakbeats, samples and synths on their studio debut ‘Evoke’ that hit the shelves in late October 2022.
