Manic Depression

**Manic Depression** is a French metal band known for their raw, aggressive blend of crust punk, hardcore, and metallic intensity. Emerging in the early 2000s, they carved a niche in the underground scene with releases like the *Who Deals the Pain Demo* (2002) and *Planned Spiritual Decay* (2006), delivering frenetic rhythms, distorted riffs, and lyrics tackling themes of mental anguish, societal decay, and personal defiance. Over the years, they’ve maintained a gritty DIY ethos, dropping chaotic EPs like *Box of Lies* (2012) and full-lengths such as *Technocracy* (2015), which cemented their reputation for unrelenting, cathartic soundscapes. While their output slowed after the mid-2010s, their discography remains a staple for fans of uncompromising, politically charged extreme music.
