Maniac

**Maniac** is a ferocious hardcore/punk band known for their blistering sound and unrelenting energy in the underground scene. Emerging from DIY circles, their music blends raw aggression with politically charged themes, often tackling topics like societal decay, existential dread, and systemic collapse. Tracks like "War & Insanity" and "Funeral of the World" showcase their signature mix of breakneck rhythms, distorted guitars, and confrontational lyrics. They’ve built a reputation through explosive live shows (like their *Live on Axe to Grind* recording) and splits/collaborations with fellow bands in the punk and metal realms. While details about their lineup or origins remain low-key (typical of underground acts prioritizing anonymity), their releases consistently echo the chaos and urgency of modern disillusionment.
