MANTRIC MOMENTUM – Trial By Fire (2022)

Frontiers Music has signed MANTRIC MOMENTUM, a new melodic metal group centered around vocalist Terje Harøy (Pyramaze) and multi-instrumentalist/songwriter Christer Harøy (Divided Multitude, Crossnail). The band will release their debut album, “Trial By Fire” on November 11, 2022.
“Trial By Fire” includes guest musical appearances from Magnus Karlsson, Frank Nordeng Røe, Jimmy Hedlund, Lawrence Dinamarca, Truls Haugen, Ketil A Jensen, and a guest vocal appearance from Tina Gunnarsson.
The initial idea for Mantric Momentum first saw the day of light in 2011, when Christ Harøy co-wrote a song with Danish producer Jacob Hansen. The project was slow to come to life though, due to Christer’s duties with the bands Divided Multitude, Teodor Tuff, and Crossnail. Their first music, the ‘Awaiting Tomorrow’ single, was finally released in 2017 and featured two tracks
With these songs out there in the world, Christer got the itch to make a full-length album. For the vocal duties for the album, Christer wanted a full-time singer and permanent member, so he brought in his cousin and great friend, the Norwegian powerhouse Terje Harøy, who fronts Pyramaze.
Christer and Terje have been working together on numerous projects and bands, so this was a natural fit.
