A Sleazy Comeback

Musical Style and Production
The album is characterized by thrashy guitar riffs and anthemic, shout-along choruses. One standout track, “Early Grave,” exemplifies this energetic style, making it a perfect anthem for metal lovers. The production, handled by Kevin Bersten at Developing Nations, amplifies the metal elements of their punk-infused sound, giving it a polished yet gritty edge.
Song Meaning
According to the band, the message behind “Early Grave” is straightforward:
“It’s a straight forward rocker, a four on the floor fist pumper. If I’m going to die any time soon, I’m just glad there’s a decent song to provide the soundtrack.”
Looking Ahead
While we hope that Total Maniac continues to make music for years to come, fans should not hesitate to dive into their latest work. Love Overdrive is set to release on March 27 via Bandcamp, and it promises to be a thrilling ride for those who appreciate the fusion of metal and punk.
