Reunited thrashers Mantic Ritual have unveiled their new single, “Crusader”, The first new music in 12 years from the group – featuring original members Dan Wetmore (vocals / guitars), Jeff Potts (guitars), and Ben Mottsman (bass), alongside new drummer Carlos Cruz (Warbringer, Exmortus, Power Trip) – is on all streaming and download platforms now.
