MANTICORA Signs With LOCOMOTIVE MUSIC

Danish power metallers MANTICORA have inked a deal with Locomotive Music for the worldwide release of their sixth full-length album, "The Black Circus, Part 2". The companion CD to last year's "The Black Circus, Part 1 – Letters" will be mixed at the Jailhouse studios in Horsens, Denmark between January 25, 2007 and February 1 with producer Tommy Hansen (HELLOWEEN, TNT, PRETTY MAIDS, FATE). A May/June release is expected.

As previously reported, MANTICORA recently recorded a cover of TANKARD's "Total Addiction" ("a real thrash metal classic!!!" according to the band) for a TANKARD tribute album, to be released later in the year by AFM Records.

The two-album "The Black Circus" concept project tells the story of the horrific perils of a traveling circus in the 19th century.

Upcoming MANTICORA shows:

Apr. 26-27 - Stockholm, SWE to Turku, FIN (Metalbåten / The Metal Boat)
Apr. 28 - Copenhagen, DEN @ The Rock
May 01 - Lübeck, GER @ TBA
