CoC : Manic - Recollection of What Never Was... : Review

Manic - _Recollection of What Never Was..._
by: Adam Wasylyk (4 out of 5)

After reading their bio and hearing the demo, I realized that I'm not dealing with amateurs. The trio that comprise Manic are professionally-taught musicians who play a music hybrid of jazz, fusion, and metal. Death's technical prowess comes to mind when hearing any of _Recollection..._'s four tracks. Getting up to a mid-paced speed, the tempo is always changing which prevented sound stagnancy. A number of vocal types are utilized throughout the demo like screams, death growls, and spoken word. Manic are all over the map when it comes to musical influences, and that is what makes "Recollection..." work. A full-length CD is coming up this summer, and I look forward to hearing more from this band.
