notes

Here's the 2nd studio album of French Metaller Manigance.
Let’s face the reality… These days the melodic power metal is not the hippest style of “hard rock” anymore. Out of the huge wave of bands coming from all over the world since the late 90’s, just a few will really stay. Although many of them like to sing, only the strong survive… and the list is short: HammerFall from Sweden, Edguy from Germany, Sonata Arctica from Finland, Rhapsody from Italy and, why not, Manigance from France… Faithful to their image, the band from the city of Pau have been cleaver enough to not overload the market with various side projects or solo records. Just as united as in the early days of their career, when they had no record deal and were just playing clubs in the South West of France, these five French guys spend their time, in their quiet little town far way from Paris, on the writing and the recording of their music. For course Manigance is always the first to go on on the road. They already have played several concert as the headliner or with other acts like Freedom Call, Royal Hunt, U.D.O, Angra, Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius or, in July 2005, The Scorpions at the prestigious Olympia Hall in Paris. Even more recently they have supported Whitesnake in Toulouse. On stage, facing thousands of people, Manigance has learned a lot…

They are easily recognized in the metal world from their distinctive sound, which is given more of a trademark by their singing in French. In a predominantly English lyric market place where almost everyone sings (or tries to sing) in English, Manigance has made their own space. Maybe they aren’t widely known, but they have a very secure and fresh hold on the music scene in areas such as music quality and language where the majority of bands cannot compete with them. Proud of their image and their intelligent lyrics supported by strong rhythms and great melodies.

Manigance delivers what their audience deserves: aggressive and powerful melodies coming straight from the heart. The media, in France and abroad, has given so many rave reviews on Manigance since the release of “Ange ou Demon” in 2002. For several years now, Manigance has obviously awakened a real interest in heavy metal music “made in France”, even if that was not their main goal. These guys just wanted to play the music they love without the idea of following any kind of trends or copying what their colleagues did… That’s maybe why today, they are still fresh and full of power.

    Another cool cd from France, with lots of melodic and semi prog stuff.
