Mantric
Mantric is a progressive metal band from Oslo, Norway that formed in 2007. When the last remaining founding members of Extol left the band in 2007, the remaining members, John Mjaaland, Tor Glidje, Ole Sveen, who had previously played together in Lengsel and Ganglion, decided to continue the already in-progress songwriting process and change the name of the band to Mantric.
The band is currently signed to Prosthetic Records and released their debut album, The Descent in 2010. The album has received generally positive reviews including 8 out of 10 scores from both Metal Hammer and Decibel. Mantric has since played a handful of shows and festivals in Europe and are currently demoing material for their next album.

The Descent
by: MantricThere’s a bullet in mid-air, I felt it run by my head.
And as it passed I heard it call out a name.
And I turned to see if my time had come to fall around dead.
In the line of fire, blood ’n’ rain falls on all men alike. All fall on desperate days.
Listen to the sound of life over death, ringing in my ear.
An invasion of the brain, an intrusion of the heart.
The hand that reaches out for he who cries for help.
In the line of fire, blood ’n’ rain falls on all men alike. All fall on desperate days.
There’s no hiding, no saying when destiny will point and strike her hand.
We all fall short on desperate days.
In the line of fire, blood ’n’ rain falls on all men alike. All fall on desperate days.
In the line of fire, blood ’n’ rain falls on all men alike.
Lightning strikes in a split second. Earth shakes and feets tremble.
Now is the time. In the waking hour He will come like a thief in the night.
We all live in desperate times. Blood and rain.
