Hail Spirit Noir – Mannequins – CD

Description

Prolific shapeshiftersHAIL SPIRIT NOIR, of Greek origin, discard their progressive robes to celebrate their 10th anniversary with a one-off, emotional, horror-like and disco-driven record,“Mannequins”. Album number five ofHAIL SPIRIT NOIR‘s bold discography – that spans from experimental black metal, to psychedelic progression, to retro-futurisic space rock – marks a full-blown & daring plunge into a synthwave-meets-sci-fi pop environment. With neither romance nor remorse, the transformation is devoid of metal or rock instrumentation, and is highly reminiscent of an ?80s horror movie soundtrack, whose story involves “aliens, disco clubs, ripped limbs, slashed necks and other beauties;” explains co-founderHaris. The metamorphosis“Mannequins”brings about, puts on display how untamed and diverse canHAIL SPIRIT NOIRtruly be, and positions the band in a whole new perspective, among the likes ofCarpenter Brut,PerturbatororDance With The Dead. “Different as it may sound, we believe it still echoes the spirit and essence of HSN. Just drop the needle in your vinyl and dance,” addsHarris.

All music was recorded byHarisandSakis, with vocals byCons Margand story concept byTheoharis. The album was mixed and mastered byDimitris Douvras.Fesq.projectcrafted the artwork andNikos Tsiolisprepared the layout. The band recorded a music video for the album’s title track.
