Featuring guest appearances by members of Undersmile, As We Were When We Were Not sees Mountains Crave expanding on the blueprint laid down with their eponymous EP, incorporating disparate influences from Pink Floyd to Wolves in the Throne Room. Deftly interweaving blast-led savagery with delicate and pensive atmospherics, the listener is stimulated on both a visceral and cerebral level. Inspired by Aldous Huxley’s 1962 lecture on visionary experience, the album explores themes such as spiritual enlightenment, death and the afterlife, and man’s kinship and subsequent alienation from the universe.
Including past and present members of A Forest of Stars, Old Corpse Road, The Afternoon Gentlemen, Gets Worse, and Masochist, Mountains Crave began in March 2013

These songs revolve around the transformation from man to The Übermensch (German for "Overman, Overhuman, Superman, Superhuman), through the purification of the fire and the metaphor of the warrior, mainly taking inspiration from parts of Vijnanabhairava as well as personal experiences of meditation.
Fire is the main element manifested by Shiva, seen as a purifying factor and dissolving, regenerating and annihilating.
In this case also seen as the awakening of a burning and dissolving energy, which brings chaos and destroys the boundaries of mortality to reach immortality.

Fans of Wargasm know what to expect, as the unique Wargasm sound is clearly evident throughout the MANIAC demo! Three of the five songs recorded for this demo became instant classics when they were re-recorded for their classic "Why Play Around?" album in 1987; of the remaining two, one has never been re-recorded.. The CD will be mastered from the original 1/4" analog tapes for the best possible sound, and will be designed after the original 1985 demo, featuring elements from the original cover artwork and layout and painstaking attention to detail, even down to the logo and typeface for a touch of nostalgia. Also included are unpublished classic band photos, artwork, flyers and liner notes written by bassist/vocalist Bob Mayo. Additionally, a fold out 4 panel lyric insert / album cover mini poster will be included
