Manntra have released their new single “Wild Hunt”, a collaboration with Fabienne Erni of the Swiss folk metal band Eluveitie. The track arrived on 22 October 2026, with a video released alongside it.
The Croatian band have not yet confirmed whether “Wild Hunt” is a standalone single or part of a larger release. The song continues the group’s mix of traditional Croatian folk instruments and heavy metal, a style they have developed since forming in Umag in 2011.
Guest vocals and Celtic harp from Switzerland
Fabienne Erni is a vocalist and Celtic harp player for Eluveitie, the Swiss folk metal band she joined in 2017. She shares vocal duties in the group and has appeared on their albums since “Evocation II: Pantheon”. Her voice and harp work have become a recognisable part of Eluveitie’s sound, and her guest spot on “Wild Hunt” brings a folk metal connection between the two bands.
Origins in Umag
Manntra formed in 2011 after the disbandment of the industrial metal band Omega Lithium. Two of its members, vocalist Marko Matijević Sekul and Zoltan Lečei, started the new project and brought in drummer Andrea Kert and guitarist Marko Purišić. The band released their debut EP “Horizont” in 2012, followed by “Venera” in 2015 and “Meridian” in 2017. They moved from Croatian to English lyrics to reach listeners outside their home country, and have built a following in Germany, Austria and Russia.
