Modern metal band Sapiency release ‘Maniac’ single and music video

Modern Metal

German Modern Metal band, SAPIENCY, have released their new single & music video for ‘Maniac‘. The iconic track originally released by Michael Sembello, comes with a massive, modern metal overhaul. Instead of the original pop style, the song now features captivating female vocals paired with powerful male shouts, creating a fresh and intense dynamic.

The video can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/l3Bx7HD-dU4 and streamed here: https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/album/6nFekSiNrxhgM6WvYu0OLb

“Maniac“ comes with crushing guitar riffs, modern synths, and thunderous drums. The synth elements enhance the dark atmosphere, while the dynamic vocals bring out the aggression and energy of the track. It’s not just a cover, but a bold reinterpretation of a classic. This new version stands in stark contrast to the original’s 80s electro vibes. SAPIENCY bring the track into the present with their modern metal sound, continuing their creative evolution.

Since 2009, Sapiency from Germany has made a name for themselves as one of Frankfurt’s most renowned heavy outfits. Now returning stronger than ever as a mix-fronted band, they will show you what they are really made of haunting screams, an unparalleled female voice, and a bone-crushing instrumental wall of sound that will surely get every last member of their audience on their feet.

They have consistently demonstrated this in countless support shows, but now they have reached their peak form. Having played support shows for KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, JINJER, DEATHSTARS, DEAD BY APRIL, CYPECORE, W.A.S.P., as well as festivals like 70,000 TONS OF METAL, METALFEST, METALDAYS, OUT & LOUD, and DONG OPEN AIR, they have always been a highlight of the evening. The upcoming singles will show you that these concerts are definitely not ones to be missed!
