Danish metallers MANTICORA, have made available for free download for the first time, their sold out Mini-album Dead End Solution.
“A looooong time ago we decided to record a mini cd to promote ourselves and to shop the result to a record label….You’ve probably heard this story before, since this is the traditional way to be heard by other people than your friends and family. We’ve always been hiding this release since the outcome could have been better, and the fact is that it simply sold out after a lot of concerts – and there was no need for us to re-print it, since we eventually landed the record deal.
Dead End Solution was recorded and mixed over a weekend due to the fact that we didn’t have much money……..anyway, you can judge the result yourselves. The story continues today and we’ve now released 6½ albums including this mini cd.
Since our fans can’t find Dead End Solution anywhere (other than split up as bonus tracks for our re-releases of the first 3 albums) and have been asking for it for years now, we’ve decided to put it on our website for FREE download. Consider this as a token of gratitude. We really appreciate the huge interest in this mini cd – an interest that has been increasing every year. THANK YOU!
Download our very first mini cd for free in the Albums section right now!”
