Release Notes

Artist : Manigance Rating : You Decide!
Album : Volte-Face (Jap. Ed.) Label : Avalon

Description :

You would think that a French band singing in
French wouldnt need any more excuses to fly
under the radar. Yet the promotional campaign
for the fifth Manigance album Volte-Face was
almost non-existent. I say almost, not
virtually, because I did see an ad at some
point on its own Facebook-page. All this serves
to underline what an utter shame it is that
Manigance doesnt have the publicity machine of
a big label behind it, because it deserves more
than most to be heard.

For those of you into power metal who still
havent checked out this band due either to
unprocessed feelings towards the Battle of
Hastings or a linguistic defect called being a
native English speaker, pardon the bloody
French already and damn well check these guys
out. Volte-Face (which, in combination with the
verb faire, means turning things around)
should make you faire volte-face, because it is
another excellent entry in an increasingly
spectacular discography.

After 2011s Rcidive, which had a face-melting
opener in Larme De LUnivers, expectations
were high for this ones first assault. Pur
Sang isnt quite the space missile that Larme
was, but it is an adequate introduction to the
modern-sounding energetic brand of power these
veterans play. I saw them live once, and for
guys who look like they should play in a Grave
Digger-age kind of band, they have a remarkably
fresh style anchored by blistering leads,
tasteful keys, and the unmatchable raspy vocals
of Didier Delsaux. He has the raw approach of
Joe Amore (of countrymen Nightmare-fame), with
double the charm.

Manigance is nothing if not consistent, so rest
assured: this album kicks ass from start to
finish. Let me just single out some highlights
in the anthemic Leader (which is English and
cheating), the glorious Apparence, the
French-dictionary-au-lieu-de-fist-pumping title
track, and the light-speed Ultime Atome.
Stylistically, little has changed, but if
anything, Volte-Face features shorter, punchier
songs than some of its predecessors. Perhaps it
doesnt stack up to career milestones Ange O
Dmon or LOmbre Et La Lumire, but it can play
ball like Karim Benzema.

In any case, its always a delight to have a new
Manigance in our musical lives (even if we
almost missed it, hmph). So change management,
change strategy, and for all of us Heavenly fans
witnesses to Ben Sottos accent, please dont
ever change the language you sing in (we heard
Say It Aint So). The power metal public at-
large may always keep you at a grammar
professors arms length, but wed rather you
remain an underground treasure than some lazy
sellouts. Vive la France, vive Manigance!
