BAND BIO:
Gutter dwellin’ rock n roll from Baltimore, MD!
Formed in 2018 by members of Nux Vomica, Deathammer, and Raw Filth who wanted to strike a sound somewhere between their love of 80’s metal and rock n roll swagger with punk grit. Months of gigging and developing their style led them to comparisons with classic bands straddling those same lines such as Motörhead and Venom, with their self released demo in 2019.
After some lineup changes and higher profile gigs opening for BAT, Poison Ruin, and a spot on Maryland Deathfest, they released their self-titled full length in 2022. Total Maniac sets apart from their contemporaries by authentically not giving a fuck about fitting into a narrow box.
Several more high profile gigs, festivals, and DIY tours followed. It’s not uncommon to find them on a bigger stage opening for major metal acts such as Midnight or Sodom one night, and then a sweaty packed dive bar playing alongside crust punk bands the next month.
