Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed by Arch Enemy guitarist Michael Amott as a tribute to 1970s heavy psych, the Swedish collective fully solidified their groove-laden sound on their third studio effort. Bolstered by Spice's whiskey-soaked vocal grit and walls of fuzzed-out riffing, 'Mantra III' is a thunderous, smoke-drenched love letter to the golden era of hard rock and early doom.
