Something of a surprise from one half German/the other half Turkish duo , Mantar mix some notable ferociousness of their own into the typical formula. The sound of Death by Burning is not too far from the usual standards as far as songwriting goes, but the venomous vocals and vicious dark attitude add a genuine touch to the music, being sometimes reminiscent of Melvins, Darkthrone, Amebix, Motorhead and Frost with a similar rough quality. In addition to this hint of abyssic influences, the music is at least semi-creative; decent riffing at a decent pace, fortunately with good enough production values. Although these generally non-lengthy tracks do not necessarily possess truly memorable characteristics, the album on the whole provides a fair dose of intense bashing - while it may sound like a complete cliché, you could actually choose a lot worse than this.
