Karloff – Revered by Death Review By Samguineous MaximusAs a musician, sometimes you just want to blow off some steam with a fun, low-stakes side project, free from the genre trappings or expectations of your main gig. Karloff is a band born of such an impulse, serving as the vehicle for Graveyard Ghoul’s Tom “Tyrantör” Horrified to deliver some vintage metal/punk. The band’s last full-length, 2021’s The Appearing, was an enjoyable but unimpressive throwback to the halcyon days of punky heavy metal with a blackened twist. Now Mr. Horrified and his team storm back from the grave with another fist-swinging slab of tight, nostalgia-soaked riffage, built to crack open some beers and rattle your damn crypt to rubble. Can Karloff rise above their debut, hit harder, and unleash a truly skull-splitting dose of heavy metal warcraft?
From the moment you press “play,” it’s clear that Revered by Death is bursting with punk energy and metal spirit. Opener “A Pessimistic Soaring” wastes no time before hitting you square in the face with a simple, but effective power chord riff panned to one channel before the full rhythm section bursts in. We get a tasty, phased-out guitar lead before landing on a fun, punky verse riff, complete with blackened rasps about “a world consumed by darkness.” This sets the stage nicely for what Karloff is all about: no-nonsense, kitschy retro metal/punk with plenty of energy. Their bread-and-butter is like if a less-gaudy Midnight crashed into the punked-out thrash of early Nasty Savage and sprinkled it in a blackened layer of late-era Darkthrone. When it all comes together, the result can be oodles of fun. Karloff isn’t reinventing the wheel, but they’re definitely spilling some beer on it and decorating it with fake cobwebs and candles.
A lot of Revered by Death’s charm comes from the no-nonsense attitude on display from Karloff’s members. At their best, the riffs have the sort of quality of alcohol-fueled basement jams, with Tom Horrified providing some flavorful leads to spice things up and laying down punky power chords that find a sweet spot between uncomplicated and straight-up ignorant (“Crown Cult Fate,” “Die Wiederkehr der Dunkeleit”). H.T Steinbrecher’s drum performance is effective and workmanlike, rarely veering into blastbeat territory and keeping things classy with variations on rock beats, aided by the occasional d-beat (“Prince of Parasites”). Karloff maintains their core metal/punk sound across much of the album, but a few effective variations help to keep things fresh. “When the Flames Devour You All” is a mid-tempo, blackened banger, with swirling black metal arpeggios meeting sludgy power chords, and “Elisabetha’s Revenge” continues this thread, amping up the cinematics and dynamics to make for a memorable closer. Throughout it all, there’s a distinct sense of personality that helps maintain a sonic cohesion.
My only real complaint with Revered by Death is that some tracks aren’t quite as tightly executed as others. Karloff largely hit the mark, and none of the songs are complete stinkers, but some of the B-sides fail to get the blood pumping as effectively. At 4-minutes, “Regicide” is a tad longer than average and lingers on its main riff for its entirety, lacking a lead or meaningful variation to keep things interesting. “On Weathered Altar” is a surprising turn towards instrumental horror ambience and lands smack in the middle as an interlude that runs for about twice as long as it should. These aren’t total deal breakers, but on a short album, they feel longer than they otherwise would and distract somewhat from an otherwise solid package.
With Revered by Death, Karloff has delivered a lively batch of blackened metal/punk rippers. Nothing here will boggle your mind, but the band’s distinctive attitude and kitschy execution are plenty entertaining. The next time I want to feel like I’m in a metal party scene from an 80s horror movie, I’ll crush a beer can on my forehead, pull out my ripped jeans, gel my mullet, and throw on some of the best tracks from this latest Karloff.

Mantar – Post Apocalyptic Depression Review
By Saunders
German duo Mantar exploded onto the scene on 2014’s massive debut LP Death By Burning, unleashing a raw collection of doom-flecked, blackened punk-sludge anthems. Boasting a nasty streak and series of ginormous grooves and infectiously hooky riffs and songwriting, the album had a fresh appeal, featuring nods towards legendary acts, Motörhead and Melvins. An equally impressive sophomore album followed, solidifying Mantar as a dependable force as their career progressed. Despite recent efforts not quite hitting the impressive highs of their early work, Mantar remain true to the old ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’ motto to solid effect. Returning with a fifth album of original material, can Post Apocalyptic Depression find Mantar raising the takes to return to the intense highs of their early work, or will they fall victim to the dreaded Law of Diminishing returns?
Mantar’s signature sound remains distinctive and easy to like. The duo’s more refined songwriting and polished modern production may have slightly compromised the nastier edge and rawer traits that proved so effective on Death By Burning and Ode to the Flame, however, the duo’s sound has certainly not lost its edge. Each song packs revved-up energy, punky attitude, and ample heft to get the blood pumping and the head bobbing in unison with Mantar’s groovy swagger and penchant for burly, surly riffs and hooky songcraft. In this respect Mantar treads similar terrain to their past couple of albums, pumping out compact, energetic ditties at a lively clip. Whereas the first couple of albums featured a darker, brooding menace and venomous edge, Post Apocalyptic Depression leans into the hard-hitting rock grooves and straightforward songwriting to warm, comforting, if less potent effect.
The raucous delivery and no-frills blueprint pay dividends for the most part, making for a punchy, compact listen. While mostly sticking to his trademark raspy snarl, Hanno’s endearing vocals possess a wickedly infectious knack for sing-along vocal hooks and accessibility that belies the seething elements and blackened touches that still frame the Mantar sound. It’s especially cool when he layers things up with a cleaner, punky snarl to offset his signature rasp. A quick burst of feedback kicks off opener “Absolute Ghost,” leading headlong into a thumping beat and typically groovy punk-sludge riff. It’s a brisk, impactful beginning, setting the tone for what follows. Amidst nods to their punkier old school roots, Post Apocalyptic Depression doesn’t bust boundaries or challenge the duo’s best work. However, it proves a heavier and slightly less polished affair than its predecessor, with a thin layer of grime to dirty up otherwise sleek modern production values.
Running at a tight 35 minutes, quality mostly strikes a consistent standard. A handful of decent but less remarkable tunes (“Morbid Vocation,” “Principle of Command” and “Two Choices of Eternity”) sit alongside more memorable counterparts, including super catchy single “Rex Perverso,” and the more ambitious, seething throes of blackened sludge brawler, “Halsgericht.” Pacing occasionally stutters but never derails momentum thanks to other cut-above gems, such as the vicious punk tones and anthemic hooks of the excellent “Dogma Down,” and walloping one-two punch of “Pit of Guilt” and dubiously titled “Church of Suck.” Later in the piece, listeners will be pleased by the uglier, genuinely blackened intensity of the rabid “Axe Death Scenario.” Hanno’s solid guitar work and punk-charged sludgy riffs still carry plenty of bite and heft. Melodic undertones and groovy textures provide some extra versatility and nuance to otherwise straight-ahead jams, further driven by Erinc’s powerhouse, no-nonsense rhythms and hard-hitting style. Production is less glossy than its predecessor but again lacks the unrefined sonic charms of their earlier material, further dulled by compressed mastering.
Over a decade removed from their punishing debut, Mantar continue delivering the dependable goods. And at this point, it’s hard to imagine them dropping a dud album anytime soon. All the key ingredients remain, the writing is as catchy as ever, and while impact may not match the might of their early work, the duo retains their fun, rollicking yet uncompromising style and infectious songcraft. On the flipside, things are getting a little too predictable over the past few albums, with the weaker, or stock standard tunes scattered amidst some genuinely top-shelf anthems compromising overall quality. Mileage will vary, but Mantar’s Post Apocalyptic Depression is another worthy and entertaining addition to the Mantar canon.

Mantar – Post Apocalyptic Depression Review
By Saunders
German duo Mantar exploded onto the scene on 2014’s massive debut LP Death By Burning, unleashing a raw collection of doom-flecked, blackened punk-sludge anthems. Boasting a nasty streak and series of ginormous grooves and infectiously hooky riffs and songwriting, the album had a fresh appeal, featuring nods towards legendary acts, Motörhead and Melvins. An equally impressive sophomore album followed, solidifying Mantar as a dependable force as their career progressed. Despite recent efforts not quite hitting the impressive highs of their early work, Mantar remain true to the old ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’ motto to solid effect. Returning with a fifth album of original material, can Post Apocalyptic Depression find Mantar raising the takes to return to the intense highs of their early work, or will they fall victim to the dreaded Law of Diminishing returns?
Mantar’s signature sound remains distinctive and easy to like. The duo’s more refined songwriting and polished modern production may have slightly compromised the nastier edge and rawer traits that proved so effective on Death By Burning and Ode to the Flame, however, the duo’s sound has certainly not lost its edge. Each song packs revved-up energy, punky attitude, and ample heft to get the blood pumping and the head bobbing in unison with Mantar’s groovy swagger and penchant for burly, surly riffs and hooky songcraft. In this respect Mantar treads similar terrain to their past couple of albums, pumping out compact, energetic ditties at a lively clip. Whereas the first couple of albums featured a darker, brooding menace and venomous edge, Post Apocalyptic Depression leans into the hard-hitting rock grooves and straightforward songwriting to warm, comforting, if less potent effect.
The raucous delivery and no-frills blueprint pay dividends for the most part, making for a punchy, compact listen.

This October marks 19 years since we started this band. Still writing, rehearsing, touring and recording. Still laughing and fighting. Still trying to write that perfect #hardcore song. Here's some shots from way back in 2009 when we were young and tough. 🤘
