Manticore
was formed in 2000 by members Ixitichitl, The Maggot
Wrangler and Satanael, to express their ideology and play
the kind of music they wanted to hear: unholy black death
metal done without compromise. In January of 2001, the band
recorded the Ritual Cleansing of the Whore demo, which was
later re-released on CD and vinyl by Breath of Night/Merciless
Records. In January of 2002, Manticore returned to the
studio to record its first album, entitled Bowels of the
Holy Anoint Us in Evil, to be released later through
Warhammer Records. In between recordings, the band played
numerous live shows before ultimately participating in the 'Marching
Towards Christian Extermination Tour' in the Fall of 2002
with Avenger, Black Witchery, Krieg and Armagedda. After
endless delays due to cover art, Bowels of the Holy Anoint
Us in Evil finally saw the light of day in April of 2003 on
CD through Warhammer and a limited cassette release in
December by InCoffin Productions. Since then, the Manticore
camp has fallen silent, as preparations for Envenomation
have begun... |
