show moreMelbourne based outfit Liar are an amalgamation of many styles of music, drawing from hardcore, emo rap, hip hop and metal but to categorise their music in any form at all would be an injustice to the band.
After showcasing the many sides of their musical personality starting with their debut single Decline and working through Hysteria, Poison and Double Cup, Liar have intensified things even more with their latest single Mania.
Created with the intention of expressing the pain of living with a depressed, suicidal internal monologue and how it affects one's relationships with those around them, Mania expands their musical surroundings to a staggering level, punctuated by the arrival of new vocalist Dylan.
HEAVY sat down with bass player Con Davis, guitarist Mitch Rice and drummer Adam Spackman to find out more.
"The song Mania instrumentally is kind of a song where we tried to push the limits on a guitar and all sorts of crazy sounds and stuff that you'll hear," Davis explained. "Vocally, it's a song that I helped write based on past experiences and hoping to touch a few people that have had similar experiences."
As mentioned, Mania musically draws from many different realms of the musical spectrum, which the band admits is a feature of their sound.
"The sound is predominantly a fusion of trap metal stuff," Rice offered, "but we have a lot of weird synth and electronic elements in there."
"A lot of stuff has already been done," Spackman added, "so it's a matter of trying to do something new to stand out. I guess the other way to do that is to try combining different ideas."
In the full interview, Liar go further into the lyrical component of Mania, the music video and what story it tells, showcasing their sound over multiple singles, new vocalist Dylan and what he brings to the bands sound, refining their sound as they grow as a band, upcoming shows and more.
