About

Manntra is a Croatian folk metal band from Umag, formed in 2011. After the disbandment of the industrial metal band Omega Lithium, two of its members, Marko Matijević Sekul and Zoltan Lečei, went on to form Manntra, immediately calling Andrea Kert as a drummer, and Marko Purišić as a guitarist.

Manntra's musical style is characterized by a fusion of traditional Croatian folk music with heavy metal, incorporating elements of industrial and electronic music. The band often employs traditional instruments such as the sopele, the tamburica, and the diple, alongside electric guitars, drums, and keyboards. Their music is notable for its dynamic rhythms, driving guitar riffs, and powerful vocals. After releasing the first three EPs in the Croatian language, Manntra pivoted to English (with occasional German lyrics) to embrace a global audience. The band's lyrics frequently deal with themes of spirituality, mythology, and personal struggle, which are often drawn from Croatian folklore and history. Overall, Manntra's sound is a unique blend of different styles, creating a distinct and compelling musical identity.

Beyond the Croatian borders, the band has also gained popularity in Russia, Germany and Austria.
