Although the band first emerged with the 1993 demo ‘Immortal Death’ Maniac Butcher can trace their history as far back as 1988. The debuting line up comprised of vocalist Barbarud Hrom, guitarist Vlad Blasphemer, bassist Thomas and drummer Michael.
The 1994 session ‘The Incapable Carrion’ saw Thomas being superseded by Jorg on bass. Maniac Butcher had their 1996 ‘Black Hordes Of Saaz’ single shared with DARK STORM. Following the band’s debut full length album Jorg decamped.
Second album ‘Lucan- Antikrist’ saw the inclusion of second guitarist Lord Unclean. This outing included a rendition of MASTER'S HAMMER's 'Hell Abyss'. Line up troubles afflicted the band further when Michael left the fold, to found yet another uncompromising act AGMEN, followed by Lord Unclean. By this stage Maniac Butcher was down to the pairing of Vlad Blasphemer and Barbarud Hrom for the ‘Cerna Krev’ outing.
1999 had session players Ramus on guitar and Butcher on drums filling the vacant positions for a split album shared with INFERNO and SEZARBIL. A full length effort ‘Invaze’, which included a cover version of a track by the same name originally recorded by ASSESSOR, was also released the same year. Meantime the ‘Cerna Krev’ album was re-released on the Brazilian Mega Therion label with extra tracks and retitled ‘Sangue Negro’.
Maniac Butcher achieved quite a coup in 2000 when the esteemed Akhenaten of noted American Black Metal project JUDAS ISCARIOT was inducted into the band on bass. However, following European gigs that year the band announced they were to fold. Recordings from these dates would surface posthumously in March of 2003 as the 'Live In Germany' album through the From Beyond Productions label.
Both Blasphemer and Hrom also operate the side band NHAAVAH issuing the album ‘Kings Of Czech Black Metal’ and split a EP with KATHARSIS. Also in 2003 the Brazilian Mutilation label re-issued 'Barbarians' in limited vinyl formats and combined the two demos ' Immortal Death' and 'The Incapable Carrion' for CD release.
As a member of DETONATOR 666 Vlad Blasphemer, in the guitar role, released the album 'At The Dawn Of Sadistioc Infernal Holocaust' in April 2004. The Dutch label Displeased Records re-issued 'Live In Open Hell' on vinyl format in December of 2004.
In 2005 released a DVD entitled ' Dead But Live - '92-01' and in 2007 released a EP called 'The Beast / Dva tisice let' which the album cover was pianted by Quorthon of Bathory also it is the first studio album in nearly 7 years.
Creation
Maniac Butcher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
History of questionmarks
The longnig for discovery of the origin
And the meaning of existence of life
Searching for the answers
Lack of knowledge
Incapability of explaining
The discovery
Of the false meaning of life
In the worshipping
Of fictious creator
Temporary submite
For mind equilibrium
Negated by the development
Of human knowledge
Disclosure of false dogmas
Revision of main ideas
The transformation to "morderner" church
The perturbance of Shepherd's lambs
Progress - work of the inteligent elite
With absence of the ordinary individual
Ignorance of principle - estrangement
The second chance for self-appointed messiahs
Misgiving of impotent heads
Menace of their mental slavery
Escape from the uncomprehended world
To the arms of the vampire church
The laziness to work -
Necessary condition for the progress of society
The laziness to think -
Primary case of the stagnation of the individual
The ignorance of the meaning
And the origin of life
The easiest solution
The creation of creation
The almighty God - the creator
His son - Jesus Christ
Masters of mankind
Created by man
The lyrics of Maniac Butcher's song "Creation" explore the history of mankind's search for the meaning of existence and the struggle with reconciling religious beliefs with scientific knowledge. The first verse reflects on the long history of questioning that humans have engaged in regarding the origin and purpose of life, and the frustration that comes with the lack of answers. The second verse alludes to the tendency for humans to invent explanations or resort to force in order to fill in the gaps of their understanding.
The song then shifts to the idea of false meaning or dogma that is perpetuated through the worshipping of imaginary or invented gods. This is contrasted with the progress made by the intelligent elite, with the implication that those who exercise critical thinking and knowledge-building lead society forward. However, warning signs of intellectual stagnation and mental slavery emerge, culminating in the rise of self-appointed messiahs and the vampire church, which represents an escape from the complexity of the world. The song concludes with a commentary on the consequences of laziness- the laziness to work propels society forward, but the laziness to think leads to individual stagnation.
Overall, "Creation" critiques the ways in which religious dogma and intellectual insularity hold people back from true progress and critical inquiry.
