Mantarochen, a Leipzig-based three-piece active since 2022, has released “Seperate Ways” as the lead single from their forthcoming five-track EP “Wellness Ward,” scheduled for June 26, 2026 via It’s Eleven Records in Chemnitz. The track exemplifies the band’s signature blend of coldwave, post-punk, and Neue Deutsche Welle aesthetics, featuring a synth-free arrangement built on an ominous, elastic bassline and percussive shuffling beneath piercing, Keith Levene-influenced guitar work. Characterized by abrasive yet mesmerizing soundscapes, the song pairs shrieking riffs with remote, brooding vocals that explore themes of darkness and separation. The EP will be available in cassette and digital formats.
