Biography
Hi metal fan! Thank you so much for reading this biography/history of Manticora. I guess the writing of it wasn’t in vain after all :-). I hope you’ll enjoy it.
Kristian Larsen, Manticora
* Fear Itself *
Our history begins back in ´92 with Lars and I playing in a band called Fear Itself, together with three other guys. Most of the time we played soccer indoor right next to our rehearsal room (it was more fun than being serious and creating music, I guess), but we managed to pull ourselves together, in between the chaos, to play heavy metal.
The music suffered a lot under the fact that we were newbies and poor musicians…anyway, the idea was to play thrash metal in the vein of Forbidden, Overkill, Metallica, Slayer, Sacred Reich and so on… (We did our best - no doubt about that) and we all had the same influences. Eventually we began working hard in the rehearsal room and played a lot of gigs. We improved a lot in this period of time along with our expectations on the future. The five of us created three demo’s in three years and they are:
FEAR ITSELF
Demo release: 1992
“K.D.D.O.P.P.A.D”
1. Make Amends
2. Inherited Hypocrisy

Nice gig in Wacken. It's a shame that the tent was so empty, though.
