10 Great Rock & Metal Albums From 2018 You May Have Missed
5. Manticora - To Kill To Live To Kill
Manticora have been making metal longer than many may realize, with their first EP dating back all the way to 1997. So to say they may know a thing or two about this metal genre might be an understatement. And after an 8 year wait, they returned by delivering one of 2018's best albums.
To Kill to Live to Kill, while maybe not the best name for an album, is a concept album just like every other Manticora release. This album in particular focuses on death and abuse, a much darker topic than some of their previous releases, like The Black Circus which focused on an old gothic circus with gypsies who used magic to make the circus all the more entertaining.
Manticora knows how to blend multiple genres into one, and given their long time away from the game one might think they'd lose a step or two, but fear not as this album delivers in a powerful way, and one that you will definitely not want to overlook.
