Tom, Scott and Neil officially formed the band during the Autumn of 2003, but went through a few singers until they found the right one in Andi (October 2005). Being described as "about as heavy as punk gets" thier music mixes thier punk roots with influences from thrash metal and hardcore to create "a different feel to most metal bands around on the scene". They finally began gigging winter 2005 to give something new to Nottinghams music scene.
Ting Promotions are hoping to be doing gigs in the Derbyshire Dales area pretty damn soon and were looking for top bands who want to work with us!! We also are looking for tribute acts too so if you know any tell them to add us too!!
Mantus have 3 gigs in Derby this month. First up is an all-day benefit gig for the S.O.P.H.I.E cause on Saturday 9th Aug. All proceeds on the night will go directly to the charity. We'll be onstage at 7.30pm but the gig starts at 3pm so it's well worth arriving earlier.
Next up we'll be playing in the final of the battle of the bands event held at The Royal on Saturday 16th Aug, along with Elmo must die, Dark abyss, With silent eyes and 2 more bands tbc. We went through on the judges vote in our heat so please show your support. It's totally free too!
Finally we'll be playing with our buddies Razorwire on 27th Aug, again at The Victoria Inn. Their 3rd album has received great reviews (8/10 Metal Hammer : KKKK Kerrang!) and it's about time they caused a stir in Derby. Also with us are Alaizabel cray (fresh from supporting The Berzerker) and Ashes of empires.
As usual you can pick up a copy of our 7-track ep for free at any of these gigs.
having played a series of kick ass shows over the last few days, we are looking forward to finish off our little summer tour at Nottingham's Junktion7 tonight.
we - and that includes of course our good friends Nex, Speed Theory and Panic Cell - can't wait to give this tour the end that it deserves.
so we hope you can make it down to what will no doubt be one hell of a concert.
