1. Can you give us a brief history of the band?
WELL ALL BEGINS IN AUGUST 2000, AND IN 2001 I WAS WITH THE NAME EDGE OF
VENOM, BUT AT THAT TIME I WAS BUSY PLAYING WITH OTHER BANDS UNTIL 2005
THAT I DECIDED TO GO BACK TO MY SOLO PROJECT BUT THIS TIME WAS MORE
SERIOUS AND THATS WHY I CHANGE THE NAME FOR the true...MANTUS. IN MY
MUSIC I WANT TO express totally my ideas about the Satanism, injustices in the world, and religious lies. Mantus is for my GOD!, is not whatever name that i chooses to put it on my band, Mantus is the God of the underworld and husband of Mania, he torments the souls, he send demons to the earth so they can bring more souls to his kingdom. Mantus was the right hand of Satan but he revealed him, like Satan did with "God", now Mantus have his own kingdom and im here to be the priest and collect more souls to him. Mantus and Satan continue been partners against JESUS CHRIST AND FUCKING "god".
2. How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard you
before?
AGGRESSIVE,RAW,CULT, IS HARD TO DESCRIBE IT, BUT...I JUST CAN SAY THAT IS
PURE SOUTH AMERICAN RAW SOUND.
3.What made you decide to become a one man band instead of a full band?
FREEDOM TO DO MY OWN RIFFS AND LYRICS, WITH NO COMPLAINS OF OTHER
MEMBERS, ALSO IS BECAUSE THIS BAND IS VERY SPECIAL FOR ME BECAUSE I
DISCHARGE ALL THAT I HAVE INSIDE OF ME PLAYING. SECOND BECAUSE IM VERY
STRICT WITH THE MUSIC, SO I PREFER TO WORK WITH MYSELF.
4. How would you describe the musical progress over the years, I noticed
none of the songs sound the same?
I NOTICED THAT THE MUSIC ARE PROGRESSING A LOT, THE MUSIC THAT I HAVE ON
THE MYSPACE WAS RECORDING IN MY HOUSE SO THATS WHY THE SOUND IS LOW
QUALITY, BUT THE NEW SONGS THAT I HAVE I WILL RECORDED IN PERU, AND ARE
REALLY FAST AND AGGRESSIVE WITH CHANGES OF TEMPO, WILL BE MORE
BLACK/THRASH WITH ALSO A GUESS MUSICIANS OF BLACK METAL BANDS FROM PERU
LIKE BELZEC.
5. How would you describe the lyrical content of the music?
BASICALLY ABOUT MY GOD MANTUS, THE INJUSTICE IN THE WORLD, THE LIES OF
THE RELIGIONS, NATURE, AND AGAINST JESUS CHRIST (THE MOST COMMERCIAL
PIECE OF SHIT LIAR IN THE WORLD).
6. When can we expect the next full length?
THE NEXT FULL LENGTH...PROBABLY WILL BE AT THE END OF JULY OF 2010,ALSO
I WILL RELEASE MY FULL LENGTH IN: TAPES, VINYL AND CDS, MY PRODUCER
VERONICA SHE IS PREPARING ALL THAT I NEED TO DO AND RECORD IN LIMA,
RIGHT NOW IM WORKING IN MIAMI SO I CAN SAVE MONEY TO PAY THE RECORDINGS PAYMENTS.
7. What releases have you put out so far?
I HAVE 2 EP'S ALREADY IN TAPE'S, BUT MY MISTAKE WAS TO RECORD THAT SONGS
WITH OTHER VOCALIST TOGETHER NOT RECORDED IN DIFFERENT TRACKS, SO LATER
THE VOCALIST QUIT THE BAND AND DONT WANT ME TO SPREAD THE MUSIC ANYMORE
BECAUSE HAVE THE VOCALS OF HIM ON THAT TRACKS. BUT I WILL RE-RECORD THAT SONGS IN PERU.
8. What are you listening to nowadays and what are some new bands or
releases that you would recommend?
LETS SEE... IM MORE LISTENING BELZEC (PERU), MORTEM (PERU), LORD

9. What are your main influences music wise or non music wise?
WELL THE BAND THAT INFLUENCE ME WAS SARCOFAGO,EMPEROR & MARDUK.
10. What role does Satanism or Occultism play in the music and life?
Alot of people are confuse with satanism rituals, i continue believing in my ancestral rituals (the incas), they did exactly the same as the satanism rituals, but they was more cult,and of course they was the first to do it not the satanist, the incas and mayans take out the heart of the body even when the person was alive, and they let the blood going down to a BLOOD POOL, but then when the Spanish saw that ritual, they put the name of.."SATANIC ANTI-CHRIST RITUAL", because for them the human sacrifice is not that "god" want.
So basically the satanic rituals came from that old ages of the mayan &incas empire.
That are my rituals and culture, also to be more in contact with the nature.

Books: HISTORY OF THE INCAS,MAYAS & NORTH AMERICANS IDIANS.

ARE REALLY GOOD BANDS IN PERU LIKE: BELZEC,ANAL VOMIT, NAHUAL,
MORTEM,NECROPSYA, LEVIFER, TORMENT,SATAN, ayahuaira,ayni.
Personal i dont compare between north,central & south american Metal, because for me, all!! we have really good music! and bands!, we have to be proud that we are all one huge continent united in music and history, for my opinion all america have great bands, from Canada to Chile, you will find an awesome bands, very old school bands, even bands that influenced the Europeans bands.
