FROM ROADBURN 2013 PROMOTERS:

Featuring members of Nachtmystium, Lord Mantis will embark on their first ever European tour in a three-piece (per)version of the band. Musically, Lord Mantis comes from several places at once: On the surface, the entire package of filth, sadism, oppression and loathing seems to be blackened sludge, but delve deeper and one can hear a perverted sense of melody, next to elements (a galloping rhythm section, slow and claustrophobic industrial dirges, a harsh concrete-like guitar tone) of Neurosis, Celtic Frost and even Godflesh.
