MANIAC KILLER "Amusing Anecdotes for the Depraved" Cd

(No Escape Records - NE 014)
Release date: 2004
Running time: 36:55

Review: This, is a collection cd of Maniac Killer, former one-man side-project of Maniac Neil (who's since been involved in bands such as Frightmare, Whore & Lord Gore...)... No actual new stuff here, this material dates back to a few years ago; This is more like a selection of old Maniac Killer tracks repackaged but it's probably the final word on the subject. This is without doubt Neil's most straightforward, snappy and raging musical project: an average song running time often below the minute, viciously thrashing and thumping guitars, blasting rhythms, deep guttural growls and absolutely insane bloodcurdling shrieks. Maniac Killer is definitely one of the most memorable one-man drum-machine act that I've heard, ever. Song-writing is very consistent throughout all 43 tracks... Very inventive, and catchy, most of the time... with its share of joke parts/joke songs here and there... This is exemplary work and I think all the other one-man goregrind 'bands' should take note: this is how it should be done... Some really fast-paced guitar riffing, grindy but always with a definite death metal flavor. As is often the case, the drum-machine beats tend to sound a little fake, but this stuff's well-programmed and diversified enough to keep things things fresh. Another major component of Maniac Killer is layers upon layers of quick snippets from movies, cleverly mixed in, really pumping up the songs and making them that much more exciting; Horror geeks should get a kick out of this stuff... A few of the more obvious samples out of the top of my head are Blue Velvet ("I'll send you straight to hell, fucker"), Bloodsucking Freaks, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Brain Damage, Bad Taste, Aliens, etc... Personal favorite is that one from Rosemary's Baby: "They use blood in their rituals, and the blood with the most power is baby's blood!" Front cover art (the piggy armed with a chainsaw) is also taken from a Motel Hell poster I think... Overall, I'd say Maniac Killer is sort of like Mortician on acid; Grindier, faster, crazier... Just a whole lotta whacky fun, blasting brutality and bad-ass horror movie one-liners.

PSYCHOSADISTIC HATERAPIST/MANIAC KILLER Split Cdr

(No Life Records - No Life 02)
Release date: 2001
Running time: 26:54

Psychosadistic Haterapist Review: Really excellent drum machine goregrind... Songs are totally focused on fullspeed rhythms, with mostly tons of bombastic drum blasts (although there's still enough variety to keep things interesting throughout), dark, ominous and sort of grubby-sounding guitar riffs, slushing gurgles and spiteful squeals... The sound is pretty thick, although with a really rough edge to it but it fits the style perfectly in my opinion. Songs are written strictly about sick things like murder and mayhem... There's also a couple of serial killer-type intros put to good use... If you miss Catasexual Urge Motivation, well then Psychosadistic Haterapist is the band that most successfully recreates what CUM used to do... A deranged and putrid atmosphere allied to some truly devastating grind.
Maniac Killer Review: This is the pre-Frightmare solo project of Lord Gore guitarist Neil, it's called Maniac Killer and it's drum machine grind-death... Musically pretty similar to things like Fuck... I'm Dead: blasting, ultrafast with short-as-fuck songs, some really great riffs with a death metal vibe to them... and regarding vocals, just really raunchy guttural growls accompagnied by frantic backing shrieks... Some highly effective song-writing that just keeps it to the essential, just staying quite basic but also with tons of very fast-paced grindcore-type of twist and turns, lots of killer rhythmic changes of pace and stuff... Also some of the greatest, funniest and most dynamic use of horror movie samples I've ever heard! To me, Maniac Killer remains quite simply one of the very best one-man grind-death projects ever...
