Mantas was the band formed by quondam Venom guitarist Jeff Dunn (aka Mantas, by nature) following his acrimonious discharge from the group, and their splashy, synthesizer-driven voiceless consonant rock and roll healthy was indeed a far cry from the legendarily raw black alloy pioneers. Not that the latter in whatever agency translated into increased record crying sales, since the group's 1988 debut album -- competently named Winds of Change, and in reality recorded four-spot years preferably -- was released by the promotionally challenged Neat Records. Rather, both the album and 1989's more or less more aggressive Beguiler EP were summate busts with one-time fans and prospective new ones alike, proving that you Mantas the band (which, by the way, was rounded out by Pete Harrison, second gear guitarist Al Barnes, keyboardist Keith Nichol, and a membranophone machine!!!) disintegrated in front visual perception the nineties, just a modern batten order featuring sometime Atomkraft and Venom bassist/vocalist Tony Dolan was briefly convened to record 2004's Zero Tolerance LP.
