Info:
Hailing from Denmark, Manticora is quite certainly one of the best bands existing today. While not as famous as major bands, they seem to be loved by virtually everyone who is familiar with them - and for a very good reason.
Manticora is one of those bands that redefine a genre, or even lay the foundations for a new one. And the most astonishing part of it all is that they began creating excellent and professional music right from the debut EP (although this one is barely known). True, Lars and Kristian Larsen (the vocalist and the rhythm guitarist, respectively) didn't begin their musical career with Manticora and have already quite a few demos released under the name "Fear Itself". However, it is not only thanks to them that the band is so amazing - every instrument in the band is brought to the state of perfection (the drummer Mads Volf also played in a band prior to joining Manticora, but that really doesn't count).
Hyperion happens to be the first release after the line-up change, featuring bassist Kasper Gram (ex-Wuthering Heights), and also featuring a different lead guitarist than on the previous releases, Martin Arendal.
To me it seems that this line-up change did only good to the band. Even though it's hard to believe, Hyperion is superior to Darkness With Tales to Tell, and in some ways it is even superior to the band's newest release, 8 Deadly Sins.
