Mantra (psychedelic/progressive-metal from France) aims to create innovating, complex and powerful music since 2009 in the footsteps of bands such as Tool, Mastodon and fellow french monsters Gojira, for a deep dive in a personnal universe made of overwhelming riffs, convoluted rythms and bewitching atmospheres. The voice of Pierre is leading the crew, followed by Matthieu's bass and Gabriel's drums who put the rythm section at the center of Mantra's music. Guitarist Simon is also responsible for the mind-blowing sound on the band's recordings, rocking you along unpredictable paths you will never forget.
In 2012, after two demos ("Let the light be" - 2009 & "Tribal warming" - 2010), Mantra released "Toward the light", their first EP. Recorded in a farm lost in the French countryside, where the band gathers to create among nature's energy flows, this opus is about to be followed in June 2013 by the band's debut full-length album to come through Finisterian Dead End (Bagheera) : "Into the light". In waiting for the album, "Toward the light EP" is available for streaming + free download right now.
