Produced by Jorge Mur and Obsidian Kingdom. Recorded, mixed and engineered by Mr. Ax at AxStudios, Barcelona; Summer 2012. Mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios, Örebro; Fall 2012. Design by Ritxi Ostáriz, Elena Gallen and Obsidian Kingdom. After almost two years of intense work, Obsidian Kingdom publishes its most ambitious project. “Mantiis – An agony in fourteen bites” (2012) is a conceptual album, featuring a single song divided into fourteen tracks which flow through different genres. Taking part in the long-lived tradition of rock operas – such as those created by David Bowie or King Diamond –, the album embarks the listener in an eerie musical trip, noted for the coherent exploration of a wide range of styles and emotions. With a progressive character and a post-modern approach, its influences can be traced from the melancholy of Akira Yamaoka to the heaviness of Cult of Luna, including the experimental style of Ulver or Pink Floyd sound’s heritage.
