Metal Zone Greece – Interview With Tino Troy
by Sonia on Jul.29, 2009, under Interviews

Metalzone: Hello and welcome to Metalzone. You have a new album entitled “Sanctuary”, so tell us a few things about it. Is there any kind of concept behind the title?
Tino Troy: It happens to be the title track of the album and the song depicts freedom from something, that’s why the amazing cover art features a sad looking ‘Statue of Liberty’ She also needs her own Liberty, hence the decaying face. The full explanation of the song itself is the story of bunch of young kids based in Wales who got involved in this internet pact whereby for some reason unknown, they all ended up taking their own lives…… very sad dark dtuff but it wouldn’t be a Mantis song if it were a happy one… Ha-ha!

The mix of lead and harmony guitar breaks and solos with great vocals and keyboards is fantastic with an overall songwriting on the highest levels all over. What we have here is a band that contains some very fine and experienced musicians who have put together a collection of songs that create a really classic album. (2009)
