Belgian Modern Metal Outfit MANTAH Breathes New Life into 90s Classic with Nu-Metal Cover “Crazy”

After a period of silence, Belgium’s Mantah is back in full force. Their new single “Crazy” is a bold reinterpretation of the iconic 90s classic. And it is the second powerful statement from their upcoming album ANTIDOTE, set for release on October 31, 2025.

While the original version of “Crazy” is known for its soulful, atmospheric vibe, Mantah propels the song straight into the pit: crushing riffs, heavy grooves, and gripping melodies give it a fresh, powerful edge. The result is a high-energy nu-metal take that feels both nostalgic and contemporary.

Production was once again handled by Tommie Bonajo, who delivered a crisp, cutting-edge mix. For the visuals, Mantah teamed up with rising creative talent Guillian Maertens, who’s responsible for the artwork, photography, and music videos: all capturing the toxic, modern aesthetic of the new era.

The ANTIDOTE album will be celebrated with a release show on November 1 at Club De B in Torhout, the very venue where it all started for Mantah exactly three years ago. A return to their roots, with eyes fixed on the future.

Unlike their debut album, which was released independently, Mantah is now working with Polderrecords, the Belgian label known for pushing bands like Gnome and Hemelbestormer to the next level. The release will receive the full treatment: CD, digital, and vinyl.

With “Crazy , Mantah shows their most creative side yet. The band takes a recognizable classic and makes it their own, delivering energy and authenticity at full throttle. “Crazy” is both a tribute to the past and a statement from a band ready to write their next chapter.
