I can hear the occultist gatekeepers of the cavernous underground yelling "hype" and "hipster" even before typing the first word here. Don’t worry. As to all major questions in life, the appropriate answer to anyone complaining about MANTAR being too „cool“ or whatever is a big Fuck You. Cause really, that’s what "Ode to the flame" is all about. If you know the feeling of being pissed off and mad at fucking everything, walking down the alley at night, your leather jacket on, beer and whisky in your breath, ready to fuck up everyone who crosses your path, this record is your soundtrack. You better don't look "Ode to the flame" in the eye as it's screaming, spitting and clawing in all directions. This is Death Über Alles. Raw, dirty, mean - and yeah: So fucking cool.
