In the name of Satan, what is this? Are you joking me? This is the worst mix of hardcore music like MASTODON, some metal riffs that try to be VOIVOD or the last works of SLAYER with some mathcore shit from USA. They are from Bergen of Norway, with their debut - that if I judge by this one, I surely don't want to hear it - released in 2006 under the name Circling Buzzards. MANNGARD does their best to be different, unique but the music is awful, the vocals are shit (the singer is also in SAHG) and the complicity makes me having headache. Every song has many riffs and changes but the result is rubbish. Some nice moments or VOIVOD-ish style parts are buried into this nothingness, with Implicit Approval Of Your Uninvited Guests being the best from the ditch. If Hercules quest was to listen to it he would have committed suicide! Imagine my situation, that I heard it in three times! You don't have time for spending; I'll give them one point 'cause of the VOIVOD times.
