Mantras by Master's Hammer

Mantras came fourteen years after the last, rather experimental "Šlágry", and seventeen years after the last blacketal operetta "Jilemnický Okultista". Nowadays (2009), we're likely going to capture an attention of another generation of fans. Nevertheless, our aim was to have fun (adequately to our age) and to use proven blackmetal methods to express ourselves. Mantra is in many eastern religions a synonymum for "word of truth" - these songs are written upon true stories and impressions taken from countrysides we partly live in, namely Southern Bohemia and India. Hence the subtitle "Countryside Operetta".
