Maniac - Maniac (Full Album) 1985
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 тра 2024
- Maniac was a heavily expressed live band, which shows its mark in that the songs are designed with crowd sing-alongs from the very start. They even prepared cheer lyrics and stage talks. Then again this was an eighties release when metal pretty much lived on stages and in tour buses. The self-titled album is short and varied enough to keep the listener's ears and interest throughout the album, and good enough to attract it in the first place.
There's plenty of classical speed metal here, sounding a lot like Running Wild, Loudness and Vampyr. A lot like Savage Steel would do a few years later. The drums are the classic ones, no double-bass but an undenying rhythmic beat that often proves so much better. The guitars sound like one part Judas Priest-worship, one part Exhorder-worship and a pinch of sludge. You could say they use Running Wild-riffs with more space and time for each chord to sink into the brain tissue.
Bands from the eighties always had one slow song on the album. Maniac confirms the rule. God of Thunder sounds like the essence of "true metal" long before Manowar got their recognition. God of Thunder does however not remind as much of Manowar as of Wizard. In deed tempo, riffing, melody lines and vocal style are all very close. The bass could've been harder and more menacing, but you can't get everything.
it's a consistent album that could be recommended to everyone into speed metal.

Я Эту группу услышал в 87 на кассете без названия и долгие годы искал что за группа.кассеты давно нет только музыка в голове и вот случайно вклюил на ютуб .чуть сердце не остановилось😃.p.s пока искал узнал exciter, manowar и т.д
Группа превосходная!!!!альбом безумно клёвый просто улёт😈🔥🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🔥👹🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Как было прекрасно такое слушать в 1985 в плохом качестве Но это Кайф
Desde los trece años escuchando música metalera.J.Priest,I.Maiden,Metallica,Helloween,Accept...en fin lo más conocido...para que seguir.Ahora con 50 palos,en internet,descubro joyas como estas que me aportan una fuerza y energia que no veas...
Бог ты мой, это что же вспомнили!..) ну спасибо вам на добром слове) я проперся просто в 90-е, когда был стьюдентом,)
This album owns so hard. I can feel my hair get poofier and more mullet like when listening. My pants start transforming into spandex and my forehead starts sprouting a workout band. This is fucking magical. The only thing that Maniac wants us to do is fucking rock. I'm down with that. Their message is heard. This album should have been the soundtrack of a generation. Instead it was exiled into obscurity. The story is much like the spoken word part in We Swear At You. You have to fight for your right to rock! And I think it's time for the world to know the majesty that is Maniac.
+Ben Vargo We're fighting. Keep up your guitars boys... Fuck the radio, the media, the Tv, the mtv... Make them discover that we know where we live. Heavy Metal is a way to break every chain... DO IT!
When i saw this kind of comment i just can think: "HAIL"!
WE'RE STILL BREATHING. 80's were not a useless time.
We are a plague that has spread. There is no cure. This root must survive through generations. This feelings of this fucking bands...
My job is to show that this link is indestructible by bands from every corner of the world.
For you, headbangers around the world. WE ARE ONE! NEVER BEND!
+Metallized- Official Can I ask what do you think about this band compared to 80s metallica? and how do you rate Metallica back then?
Metallica was killer with "Kill 'Em All" Fabulous with "Ride The Lightning", Deep with "Master Of Puppets" and after the death of Cliff Burton... they're falling down. Today Metallica is just a name. Not a band.
Maybe Metallica and Maniac are different kinds of metal even in the 80's. Metallica is a kind of classic speed metal. Maniac is the fusion of the True Power Metal with some roots into speed metal.
My Opinion about your question is this sadsadsa asadasd
Metallized- Official
Thank you alot, 80s metallica is my favourite music in the entire world, been listening to all kinds of metal lately, still haven't found anything that comes close to their epicness tho. I liked heavy loads death or glory, maniac wasn't too bad either.
IMHO This is closer Speed-metal than Power-metal but remains closest to NWOBHM and stuff than Judas Priest to me. Power-metal is Manowar, Helloween, Savatage and bands treating mytological stuff, swords, dragons, elves and goblins. Speed-metal is Agent Steel and the 1st Anthrax release. follow stuff is called speed-metal 2nd generation. Or maybe I missed something about power-metal, its possible
This album makes me feel like a Heavy Metal soldier.
me too! tamo junto, metal pra sempre
Its a badass album
@Mr. Giraffe Thanks for the heads up i cant get enough of early 80s METAL ...BANG THE HEAD THAT DOES NOT BANG
@Mr. Giraffe This album is so fucking crazy from the beginning to the end!
SUPER MUZA!!! Niedoceniany zespół

@@shadabonea love this album...!!!! wish there was more of them
i love to hear this metal gem of the 80s..from start to finish.🔥🔥🔥no bullshit commercials..maniac rock on🤘🤘🤘
jack Nicholson is pretty metal
haha noticed this too
i thought it was bukowski
Members of the Maniac band surely loved the Shining film year 1980.
jajajaja
Jajaja jajaja. KMOT
Um salve aqui de Manaus Amazonas Brasil 🇧🇷🤘🏼
Salve bro!!!
este speed metal aún suena en el año 2023 🤘🇨🇱
2023🇧🇷🤘
Holy smoke, never heard this before! Pure 80s METAL! Love it!!
Que pena no haber tenido acceso a estas bandas en los 80' S ( privilegio de unos pocos) solo teníamos que conformarnos con las comerciales y lo que llegaba por casualidad a nuestras manos. ¡¡¡ excelente banda!!!
Por eso me alegra, haber nacido y vivido en la frontera con California.
PUES TE CONFORMABAS TU, PORQUE YO EN EL 85 COMPRE ESE DISCO EN EL CHOPO.

Австрийцы, Respect!!!Very good!!!
Да! Это Оно! Музыка моей юности !
Masterpiece❤
7'й класс, ещё на кассете!Сколько было! Accept, UDO, Metallica, Vampire, W. A. S. P., потом пошёл trash, SLAYER,
S. O. D., и далее..но, молодцы Австрийцы выпустили два альбома и пропали, чтоб не экспериментировать с направлениями, у многих очень хорошо получилось на Ура!!!
Trash - это мусор, а музыка, которую играли Slayer сотоварищи - thrash. Впрочем, какая разница, многие говорили "слауер" и "ирон маиден" и ничё, да?
Альбом за 1987 год Live так и не смог нигде найти. Наверно это был bootleg
Не Vampire, a Vampyr. Была такая немецкая хэви- металлическая банда. Ну и Thrash ты оскорбил, мусором назвав, зачем- то прилепив к нему SOD, хардкор группу...
Крутой Хэви,супер!!!
Los 80s, la epoca dorada del metal
Слушал это в юности , как приятно вспомнить ! Эх молодость !
+Иван Голуб аналогично
было дело,на кассетах гоняли, круто было!
Иван Голуб Одна из первых групп вместе с malice, accept, over kill, которые я услышал в 90 году.
Как сейчас помню на одной стороне кассеты maniac с другой стороны metal priest

One of the best heavy metal album forever!!!
If you find an original, get it. I have it, need a better one though.
💯💯💯
🤘🏼🤘🏼This r-r-r-rocks!!!!🤘🏼🤘🏼
Одна из любимых групп моей молодости .Эх,НОСТАЛЬГИЯ!!!!!!!!!!
И моя тоже! К сожалению так и не смог найти их живой альбом за 1987 год
This is some awesome stuff. Also, with the song titles "Dressed to Kill", "God of Thunder" AND "Shout it Loud", something tells me these guys were really into Kiss.
GOLD!
Эту группу в СССР слушал каждый уважаемый себя металлист ёпта:)
И это правда, колонки не выдерживали
Только почему-то многие думали что это Manowar,и никто почти не знал что это Maniac.
То-то ее сейчас никто не помнит, лол.
Максим Сахаров нифига, память не все пропили, хотя ни в чем себе не отказываем
Gizmo Gremlin , вы что, с какого бодунищи вокал-то можно было перепутать?!
maniac classic underated speed/ heavy metal band!
Жаль,ТАКОЕ сейчас не делают🙄
Супер альбом моей молодости
Просто одна из лучших банд тех времен и Vampyr speed metal-attack
I just wanted to write a comment mentioning Jack Nicholson in the film 'The Shining'. But you guys did it already. Well done!
Haha, was my first thought, too. XD
All right!
GREAT ALBUM!!
один из любимейшых старошкольных альбомов
Я когда первый раз услышал в 85 года, я просто охуел, как же круто было
@@kommanderofkaos5843💯💯💯
Как приятно слушать, это музыка моего детства!!!
fodam-se os tempos modernos, o bom e verdadeiro metal esta nos discos dos anos 80!
Ностальгия молодости ,супер,что нашёл!!!
Awesome power, speed heavy metal! These guys sound awesome!
Зачётный альбом!
не то слово лет 30 не слышал.
Этот альбом возвращает меня в школьные годы конца 80-х
HEAVY METAL MANIACS !!!!!!
это просто праздник какой-то!!!!!!!
PURE METAL, DAMN....
sounds absolute killer! would love to have this on vinyl
Flogs records reissue the album with white artwork
MANIAC,very best group on time metal!
Maniac, this is live! Return from tomorrow!!
Classic old School Heavy/Speed Metal
Somewhat resembles Manowar, Savatage, but at same time is so original....Just AWESOME!! ;)
Metal 6-3-3 pretty much a lot like Manowar or vice versa headbanging 2 "god of thunder" 🤘🏻
It also sounds like early American thrash, Metallica's Kill 'Em All and Anthrax's Fistful Of Metal also have that European speed metal feel! Judas Priest and the NWOBHM are behind all that!
Is far than classic. It’s wonderful!
not bad good 80's metal album from band maniac. good power vocals from the frontman, never heard them before but i like so remind me of another metal band running wild. with the power riffs and vocals. the feels for this album are awesome. it has it moments, and it don't sound overblown. i am impressed.
Jamie Warrior Warlord McCallum running willd are awesome
Heavy metal.good stuffs
1:07 SPEED METAL EN SU ESTADO MAS PURO!
SUPER !!!!!...
I always keep coming back to this cd! don't know why?! \m/
One of the best on the 80s
Man this band is bad ass!!!!!
oohhhh is super this band
This has the speed I'm looking for. Excellent all around
The description says no double bass drumming but the first track has it non stop throughout the whole thing!
Pretty cool Metal, IMO.
Exactly what I was going to say
Great album... reminds me Exciter from canada! lml
yeah!
lml
Excited played a lot faster. If Exciter did every song got in the pounding Metal style.
yes pretty much a proto thrash band Like Exiter,Razor,Anvil, etc etc etc
@@wenndingofoster5680 if you lived in that period youll remember how much more agressive this sounds than the heavy metal bands at the time, sounds crunchy and more obscure , listen to the chorus, this is proto thrash
I don't know exactly what type of metal this is, but there is fucking thrash!!! Love it
Chill Skill NWOBHM
Descobri hoje essa banda. Muito boa por sinal.
Тебе повезло😊
"The drums are the classic ones, no double-bass but an undenying rhythmic beat that often proves so much better."
This record do have double-bass already in the first track. Cool music though
Knut Halvorsen Thats whats i was thinking. It most def has double bass!!!

Arte insana da capa: O Iluminado....Jack Nicholson
Heavy Metal dos bons
Destaco 'STAGE FREE'..........RIffzão headbanger
Obrigado por postar esta pérola
Que magistral este album! Una joya de real metal para las generaciones futuras!
Great Album! Reminds me a little like Judas Priest in "1983" When they came out with Defenders Of The Faith! And the Same kind of Style of Dio a little his Solo stuff! And Other good Metal Bands from the very early "80", s! I did hear this back when it first came out! A very good time in my early Teens like Twisted Sister Iron Maiden ,Priest, Dio and Anvil and other great Heavy Metal!
Muito bom! 80 na veia!!!
Arrgggggg placer para los oídos excelente álbum
Maniac! We in sistem!!!
I love this intro awesome

Merece estar en Spotify no quisiera olvidarme de este cd .nunca!!
Cha belleza!! Maniac Rules.
Good album-traditional mid eighties metal
HELL YEAH !
Dude, Exhorder was formed around the same year, no way this album worshipped a band that hadn't even put out its first studio album until 1990, so that's a horribly wrong assessment. A lot of obscure bands around mid-80s had this kind of heavy pinch sounds that u talked about, a lot of well-known bands had that until the second albums came around and that part got real polished (the sounds were still heavy but didn't have this kind of distortion). That's usually what happened.
Also, only "You Don't Know It" and "Stage Free" I can reliably call are speed metal tunes, the rest are rockers with charmingly thrashy riffs. This album is a classic 80s heavy metal album from the gutters. A great one at that.
Heavy Metal lives on with bands like this, these guys Rock!
Hard to find a good Heavy Metal band I like; this is one of the rare few.
Una joya del metal 🔥🔥🍻🍻
AWESOME , 🤘🏻😈🤘🏻
