NEOMANTRA Uncage With Ruthless Single 'Astral Prison' And Announce EP

Uncaged and stepping out from the smoke, post/doom-metal band Neomantra are raising a little hell, announcing their upcoming EP and letting the ravenous have a taste of it with their new single ‘Astral Prison’ (out August 30).

With Royce Zanetic on vocals and guitar, Jarod Callow on guitar, Lee Afentopoulos  on bass, and Greg Turner on drums, this 4-piece post-metal powerhouse bring weighted philosophical exploration with their crushing soundscapes.

After making their first appearance in 2021 with their profound 5-track EP, 'Henosis', Neomantra have carved themselves a name for producing a magnificent cacophony of heavy and haunting tunes. Their raw and visceral sound has caught the ears of outlets such as Hysteria, Wall Of Sound, Noise Mag, and The Faction among many others, and supported both KARNIVOOL and Tangled Thoughts Of Leaving in late 2023.

Now, mixing heavy doomsday guitar, primal vocals, animalistic drums, and raw emotion, Neomantra's single ‘Astral Prison’ is unapologetic and deliciously rough. With dark chords and hardcore screaming, this is an out-of-body experience compacted into a song that loops flawlessly, with a cyclical, abstract nature to it.

This single is a sliver of their upcoming long-awaited EP ‘Paranosis’ produced & engineered by Chad Blondel (Foxhole Recording Studios) and mastered by Forrester Savell, with additional creative inputs from Drew Goddard (KARNIVOOL). The five-track EP delves into the psyche of the band that acts as the counterpart and closing of the circle that was ‘Henosis’.

The EP, available on Friday, September 27, will be celebrated at The Rosemount Hotel, North Perth on Friday 11th October, with more shows to be announced in the future.  

Get lost in a mental maze with Neomantra's newest single ‘Astral Prison’ on Friday, August 30, ahead of the release of their EP 'Paranosis' on September 27.
