MANIAC BUTCHER Releases New Album After Ten-Year Silence

July 27, 2010

Czech Republic's MANIAC BUTCHER has reformed after a ten-year hiatus and has released a new album, "Masakr", via Negative Existence.

MANIAC BUTCHER is the longest-running true black metal band from the Czech Republic. Since the early '90s, they have maintained their motto "No keyboards!! No female vocals!! Only pure black metal storm!!" which forged their straight-forward and ruthless sound.

"Masakr" contains six new tracks of orthodox black metal. Raw and heavy guitars pound out riff after riff of furious evil energized by aggressive drumming and completed with a violent wave of harsh vocals that tell the epic tale of MANIAC BUTCHER. This CD is by far the most professionally produced MANIAC BUTCHER release to date and yet it still captures the raw and underground feeling of previous albums.

MANIAC BUTCHER recorded "Masakr" between March and May of 2010 at three separate studios. Drums were tracked at Aquarium in March, guitars at Bohemian Hell in April and vocals at Nhaavah in May. The album was mixed at Bohemian Hell.

2010 will not only see a new MANIAC BUTCHER album, but also select live appearances at underground black metal festivals across Europe. Original members Barbarud and Blasphemer will be joined by Coroner (SOLFERNUS, DESPISE) on drums, Infernal (ZLO) on guitar and Lord Obst (HELLOCAUSTOR) on bass for the upcoming shows.

MANIAC BUTCHER has released two demos, six full-length albums, three splits, three live albums, one DVD, two EPs and two best-of albums.
