MANTICORA, the Danish prog-thrash veterans, are releasing the first single/video “The Farmer’s Tale, Pt. 3 – Eaten by The Beasts“ from their upcoming album “To Live To Kill To Live”, the follow-up and 2nd part of a huge concept, to 2018’s “To Kill To Live To Kill” – both albums, based on the 334-page horror/thriller novel that lead singer Lars F. Larsen wrote (also released in 2018).

The video for the song “Eaten By The Beasts” deals with the brutal murder of a young criminal, who has raped the daughter of a farmer. The farmer hires a hitman to get rid of the rapist, and the rapist is eaten alive by a number of huge, hungry pigs, owned by the farmer. It’s all karma, and the video is based on the concept.

The music on both albums was recorded partially in the band’s own studio and recorded/mixed in Hansen Studios, with World-famous producer, Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Destruction, a.o.) who also produced the first two MANTICORA albums back in the last millenium.

MANTICORA have released 8 critically acclaimed albums, since 1999, and toured numerous times around Europe, North America and Japan + played at prestigious festivals, such as Wacken Open Air, Sweden Rock Festival, Copenhell, Karmøygeddon, ProgPower USA, etc.
