Album Reviews
Manntra have released their 8th studio album called ‘Titans’on march 14, 2025 via Napalm Records. I have seen them live at Metaldays 2022, where they played an awesome show close to their home country Croatia. Their folk metal music and their outfits together create an ancient viking vibe, ready to do battle with their axes. Let’s see what ‘Titans’ has to bring us! Pick it up if you are into folk metal, but also are ready for another view on the genre.

And the third album with studio recorded songs adds some more great tracks to their catalogue! Released last year via Napalm Records.
