Blake Ibanez of Power Trip returns with a new band, Fugitive, and the "Maniac" EP, five tracks of the aggressive, pit-detonation thrash he's known for in Power Trip, with an even rawer and looser ferocity. A short, sharp shock of an EP, "Maniac" is a fierce introduction across its 17 minute runtime to a future that Fugitive is just beginning to write and a reminder that Texas heat remains a steadily potent force in underground metal and hardcore.
