About MANIAC:

"Maniac is a heavy metal album that will fit as well in 1985 as it will in 2008. Many people describe us as thrash band, really we're a metal band with a lot of
influences, you'll hear a lot of Megadeth and Exodus in us, as well as more classic Maiden and Judas Priest. We like to keep things fast and heavy, but at
the same time harmony and melody are very important. We haven't forsaken everything that is new, but we've definately tried to hold true to what classic metal really is. Our album can hold its own against any of the metal classics, and will blow any of this new metal stuff right out of the water" - Michael Andreas: Lead Guitar and Founding Member of MARTYRD


MANIAC will unleash a thrash metal attack that captures what MATYRD's growing fan base have loved and admired. The title track can be described as a slightly schizo ride through the head of a madman forced on antipsychotic drugs, the track "Betrayal" displays the band's technical wizardry, for the ladies there is the ballad "Six", and of course fast and heavy neck-breakers like "Blue and Black" and "Soldier of Fortune."



THE BAND:

Aaron (singer) -Aaron never even listened to metal before he joined the band. Aaron used to sing broadway-style show tunes. His voice is trained very differently from anyone else in metal today. He can do anything any of them can, but has an appreciation for singing from a whole other perspective.

Dan (guitar) - Mike might he the primary songwriter, but Dan is a close second. Dan grew up listening to Overkill and Megadeth, he's always been a thrasher! Lately he's getting into a lot of Dream Theater and Marty Friedman kind of stuff, and the benefits are written all over his lead playing.

Mike (guitar) - Mike is the primary songwriter and arranger for Martyrd. His writing and lead techniques are influenced heavily by Testament and Alex Skolnick, as well as, many of the great metal guitarists. Through his time playing with Nuclear Assault's John Connelly and lessons with Favored Nations recording artist Rob Balducci, Mike has defined his technique and continues to put it to good use.

Adam (drummer) - Adam cut his teeth playing Rush and Dream Theater songs and later grew an appreciation for metal drummers such as Paul Bostaph, Dave Lobardo, and Gene Hoglan. His progressive background gave him a taste for interesting and different drumming techniques and his new found love of metal gave him an aggressive edge.

Kevin (bass) - Kevin fills in the low end like no one else can. He started out a big Metallica fan, but has lately been influenced by bands such as Lamb of God, Trivium, and God Forbid. You can catch him listening to Overkill one minute and Avenged Sevenfold the next. He rounds out the sound by keeping us grounded and bringing that touch of 2008 to our music.
