Reunited Thrashers MANTIC RITUAL release the music video for “Life As Usual,” the opening track of their new 6-song EP, ‘Heart Set Stone’.

The song joins the previously released “Crusader” as the group’s first new music since their 2009 Nuclear Blast debut, ‘The Executioner’ and further highlights the band’s craft at melding inspirations into a raw, yet punchy and melodic based traditional blast of heavy music. The quartet also took a retro approach to the clip shooting entirely on a non-sync 16mm Bolex camera, shot by Randy Smith and colored by Randy and Chris Smalley with editing by Chris and singer/guitarist Dan Wetmore.


Today also marks the release of MANTIC RITUAL’s anticipated EP, ‘Heart Set Stone.’ Last year the group initially whetted fans’ appetites by releasing the limited edition ‘Crusader’ 7” backed with their cover of the MERCYFUL FATE classic, “Black Funeral.” With enthusiasm and encouragement, the band completed recording 4 more songs, again splitting the difference between original compositions and influential covers which were given the band’s own spin expanding upon the original 7” idea and giving demanding fans a CD and retail release, as well as the option of a mail-order only limited cassette (100 copies) with alternate green logo and shell, or available to all via digital and streaming digital platforms.
