CRASHFACE have just unleashed a brand-new single and video featuring WARGASM’s Sam Matlock.

Entitled MANIAC, the track is “for embracing crazy” according to the duo. “Continuing on from the story of C.H.A.I.N.S.A.W, MANIAC persists with venom in expressing frustration with the modern world, specifically the music industry (The Wasteland), especially in what it’s forcing artists to do in order to be ‘relevant’,” CRASHFACE explain.

“Our brother-in-crime JAW has made this video what it is and knocked it out the park yet again. We wanted it to maintain an Edgar Wright-esque jagged edge while staying true to our aesthetics, and I think we’ve nailed it. And massive shout-out to the legendary Slim Jim’s in London for letting us do this super last minute!

“I had the song idea for a while but got pretty stuck, then showed it to Sam while we were hanging out and he was all in. The man is chaos but it’s exactly what this chapter needed. And it’s a cute 360 because Sam actually helped me write and record the first ever CRASHFACE song – the solo in System At It is him playing! So it’s pretty fitting that he’s helping us kick off our third EP.”

Indeed, CRASHFACE have announced their next EP, LIFE AND DEATH IN THE WASTELAND, which is due out on September 13. In the meantime, enjoy MANIAC below:
