LUNAR MANTRA are a black metal trio coming from the city of Glasgow in Scotland and they have been active now since 2013. In 2015, they released their first EP named GENESIS which was certainly an album full of diversity with instrumentation, experimental processes and produced very well as there is an ambient feel to this EP. They also released a single called DROLMẨ in 2017, but they came back with another EP called PSYCHOSOMATIKA released through the record label INVICTUS PRODUCTIONS (based in Dublin, Ireland). The album was scheduled to be released in 2020 but due to the Covid-19 pandemic that had swept through the world by storm, the band had to delay this until 2021. Since their last release of course, I have now had the chance to talk to Rory Conder, who is their guitarist and very much a big part of the band's direction and I am asking him how the band got through Covid-19, whether they have any new music on the way, what inspired the band to create their music and where they are now in terms of their music as to the next step for LUNAR MANTRA.
