Naah, that shirt looks way better than Lord mantis' cover art.

On the whole it is a better design for sure. Makes me think the artist lacks variety though. I would have thought limbless religious individuals being raped by tentacles/tongues is something you'd do just the once.

I think Freud would have a field day had he seen this guy's artwork

Now that's a nice shirt.

This album rips, it's very dark, almost black metallish at times, but incredibly hammering at the same time.

Are you implying that black metal is never incredibly hammering?

At the very least you have to admit it's pretty chainsawing.

Lol I wasn't implying that, black metal can be very hammering as well.

That song is cool btw.

Search for Justin Bartlett. I don't think he lacks so much variety.
Heh, now I know who is responsable for my kick ass Kvelertak owl-tshirt.

I'm surprised at how many of them I recognise actually. Awesome artist.

Both psychedelic and sludgy and blackened and catchy and groovy and... dirty. Great album for those interested in music with at least some of those characteristics.

This album made me shrivel the first time I heard it.The psychedlic twists in Levia track are beyond awesome

I still haven't checked this out, but I'm so jelly of that tshirt's owner : Edit : I'm enjoying it and now I'm more jelly of that tishirt's owner.

Thank you, it's one of my favorites.
That isn't a Lord Mantis tshirt though. It's a Dragged Into Sunlight tshirt that Joe posted because the artist was the same guy who did the artwork of Lord Mantis latest album.
This on the other hand is a Lord Mantis tshirt (which I also own).

Does that riff at the end of The Whip and the Body make anyone else wanna run like hell for no particular reason?

I fucking love the ending... When I saw them at Roadburn I screamed like a huge fanboy the moment they started that riff because I was so fucking excited.
What a nice way to end the set.

Hah, I can actually hear myself at 13:00

I'm extremely late to this party. I must be the only one I know who listened to Death Mask (which was in my top 10 of 2014) before this one. That being said, I love this but still prefer their latest effort. While Pervertor is more consistent and up-tempo, I think the vocals have become more grippingly evil and the guitars more gummed up with slime. My favorite tracks on here share the punchier, one-liners: Ritual Killer and At The Mouth both satisfy my need to put on a grim face and mouth my best imitation. "I DENY...MY LIFE!" If you listen, though, I can almost hear the progression straight into the next album. The Whip And The Body even talks about a "death face." Delicious. I love these guys for the same reason I loved Monotheist and Trypticon: it's dark, sinister, and ugly.

Not only did I listen to Death Mask first, I also like it more than this. While this is still a disgustingly brilliant album with plenty of great moments, I feel Death Mask is a definite step above (though not a big one) and a natural evolution of this sound. Favorite tracks: Levia, At the Mouth.

5 years since I last commented on this album and guess what? This album STILL rocks my socks off. It represents every aspect I desire from UGLY, DISGUSTING metal.
A modern classic of extreme sludge metal. The mechanized groove just gives it this extra oomph that is so blood pumping. Raw yet clear and heavy as fuuuuuuuuuck. And when they do go for more melody or solos it just sounds so brilliant juxtaposed with the ugliness like the amazing solo closing the album. Dangerously approaching the 10-territory.

TRAPPED INSIDE THE NEED!!!
