MaxMantis

For ten years, MaxMantis has toured the world with melodies inspired by the fascinating microcosm of the insect world. These underestimated arthropods not only inspired the band’s name but also invigorate its compositions and gave the band a face, a story, and its own universe. Sounds crazy? It is!

The speed with which a praying mantis catches its prey, the strength of the Australian bull ant that carries one hundred times its own weight, and the beautiful complexity of the golden-orb-weaver spider’s web: These exaggerated superpowers link the tiniest creepy-crawlies to the MaxMantis clan. With an innate dose of Swiss precision, they perform the «Dance of the Moth Hunters», dive into the world of the «Lady Bug Thugs», cautiously adore the «Prey-ing Mantis» and explain in «Queen Bee» what the hype around the 'flowers and the bees' is really all about.
