Unveiling a dynamic post-punk display with textural guitar vigor, “Mantis” is a new track from Heaven Slept, a band from South Georgia.
Ample mystique is crafted immediately; dazed vocals and eerie guitar stylings intrigue into a pulsing guitar distortion. The invigorating rise leads to a deliciously dark guitar sequence, bolstered by a reflective bass-driven pulsation with post-punk allure. The contrast from the moody, darkened verses and erupting chorus makes for a riveting enthrallment throughout.
The band explains: “The song is ultimately about relationships – the give and take, push and pull. And the waiting, wondering and uncertainty between friends, partners, and family.”
