Band Information
Formed in Wagga Wagga in the early 1990s, and at one stage was a bit of a 'superband' with
ex-Misery singer Darren Goulding on vocals, Manticore were without doubt one of the most
extreme speed metal bands in the country. With interlocking and interlacing riffs played
at blinding speed and maximum heaviness, Manticore became a favourite with metal audiences
for the quality of their recorded output and the sheer intensity (and extreme rareness!)
of their live performances. Integrating the Extreme is an essential release.
 
"Head On It" saw the band introduce a groove element to its music without
compromising their all-conquering sound but the EP met with little support.
The band split up at the end of 1999.
Watts was a member of Walk the Earth very briefly in 2007 before joining Terrorust shortly
afterwards. He is also a member of the rock band Heaven the Axe.
