Manic In Lithium formed in the 1990s with a simple conviction: music should say something that matters. The original lineup — Michael Hewett (guitars), Otis Mannick (vocals), Dean Rickard (drums), and Derek Cheever (bass) — built a catalog of statement-driven rock rooted in technical power and unflinching lyrics. They're back. Not out of nostalgia — out of necessity.
Manic In Lithium is rock made by humans, for humans — technically demanding, emotionally raw, and politically awake. The new material doesn't ask you to feel better. It asks you to feel clearly.
The world is loudly broken. MIL is louder.
'If Alice in Chains and Aerosmith had a love child, you'd get Manic in Lithium. An original and modern twist on all the elements that made these two bands huge; amazing vocals, bruising instrumentation and subtlety where power isn't always necessary.
