Maniac - Maniac (Full Album) 1985
Музыка
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.

Awesome power, speed heavy metal! These guys sound awesome!
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
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...
One of the best heavy metal album forever!!!

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.

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

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
este speed metal aún suena en el año 2023 🤘🇨🇱

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!
