Manic, the fourth studio album from Ocala, Florida metalcore crew Wage War, hit on October 1, 2021 through Fearless Records, and it's a record that swings between crushing breakdowns and big, soaring hooks. The band that started out in 2010 as Empires was by now a settled five-piece: Briton Bond roaring the lead vocals, Seth Blake on lead guitar, Cody Quistad on rhythm guitar and the clean vocals, Chris Gaylord on bass and Stephen Kluesener on drums.
Quistad also co-produced, alongside Drew Fulk, Andrew Wade and Jeremy McKinnon, and the production keeps the heaviness tight and the choruses huge. "Circle the Drain" was the track that broke through on the countdowns. It followed Pressure from 2019, and Stigma came next in 2024.
