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The 1994 session ‘The Incapable Carrion’ saw Thomas being superseded by Jorg on bass.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.
The Last Warning
Maniac Butcher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of sheep and of raven
Is mixing together
In only one pool
There was not and is not
Any difference
Between the victim
Be it effective warning
To all other
Unoriginal copies
Death to the false ones !!
The will of mightiest
Shall be enforced
The law of power and brain
Shall be winning !!
The Last Warning by Maniac Butcher is a song that speaks about the equalization of victims and hunters, by depicting a pool of fresh red blood of sheep and raven mingling together. This alludes to the fact that the difference between these two groups has been erased, as now they have only one thing in common: their fate. The lyrics imply that victims and hunters are both part of a cycle, where they both feed off each other and become inseparable. The idea that there is no difference between the two groups is further emphasized in the line "There was not and is not any difference between the victim and the false hunter". The song also takes a harsh stance against unoriginal copies and false entities, calling for their death as an effective warning to others. The final verse speaks about the will of the mightiest being enforced and the law of power and brain winning. This suggests that the dominant party will always emerge victorious, and that those who possess strength and intelligence are the true victors.

Fresh red blood
Newly spilled and vibrant blood
Of sheep and of raven
From both domesticated and wild animals
Is mixing together
Combining and melding
In only one pool
Into a single body of liquid
There was not and is not
There never has been nor will be
Any difference
A lack of distinction or variance
Between the victim
The prey or sacrifice
And the false hunter
And the liar who claims to have caught them
Be it effective warning
Consider this a genuine admonition
To all other
For anyone else who might try
Unoriginal copies
Imitators or copycats
Death to the false ones!!
The deceivers deserve death!
The will of mightiest
Those with the most power or strength
Shall be enforced
Are destined to prevail
The law of power and brain
The rules of strength and intelligence
Shall be winning!!
Are ultimately victorious!
