I'm in a band

Posted by Viper - January 6th, 2024


Here's our Bandcamp if anyone is interested in giving our stuff a listen. We just have the one rough recording up at the moment but have like 8 other songs written. Our drummer is in Costa Rica at the moment and we just wanted to get something recorded and up online before they left. Enjoy I guess?

Judging from "DitchWitch", its a pretty nice song from the band. It gives off a garage band vibe to it with how the instruments sound and how the recording style is. This definitely feels like something honoring the 80s or 90s version of metal with the lyrics talking about a medieval setting with witch involved.

My favorite thing about this is how eerie and relaxing the beginning was, and how at bridge was where everything went into chaos, but calmed down at the end. My only complaint here would be about the volume control on the vocals since they sounded pretty weak, but seeing how it's a demo version, I could imagine how the final version will be better. I hope you and the rest of Mantis Queen have a nice success.

Yeah we weren't the happiest with how it sounded in terms of volume levels across the board but out of the few times we recorded it that day it ended up being the better recording so we went with it.

Ooh! You still making stuff, any new music on the way? What part do you play in this? The sound definitely feels a bit garage-like here but I love the vibe, great voice, lyrics too... this has potential!

Hope it wasn't a one-off thing, seeing how the second release was instrumental only...

We recorded a demo a few weeks ago and are waiting on it to get mixed and whatnot. We banged out 7 songs in one day in about as many hours counting us taking a few breaks here and there. We have those 7 and about as many that didn't get recorded because we wanted to focus on those and felt like the rest needed to get worked on some more before we'd get those ones recorded. Like I personally think two of em could have been added but I would have got overruled if I suggested them.

Im also in a band

Ah that's cool, actual mixing now too huh. :) Excited to hear what the new stuff sounds like, that's still a bundle without the extra two! Are you looking to make an actual album with these? EP?

It's just a demo at the moment. I have no idea what we're doing after this since we had been trying just to get this demo recorded for around a year or so.

Ah, well it's a good start, lot of tracks for a demo too. :) Looking forward to hearing this stuff.
