Mannequins

Good album, but the picturedisk which I got has a factory defect, which makes 2 songs on the first side unplayable. It contains dust particles under the top layer, and some of them, the bigger ones cause skipping for several seconds. It'll be much better not to choose picturedisk, because the digital version can be played from qobuz or tidal. But what about music... retrowave is quite popular nowdays, but this album is one of very few which is sounds fresh and makes you play it again. Favorite track: Mannequins.

Cyber Djinn No need to listen 2 times to love. The quality compositions are melodious and the lyrics tracks ended up making me succumb to its fatal charm. Favorite track: Visitors of Horror.

ClassyMusicSnob A fun little album by HSN that celebrates all of their albums in synthwave form. All of the Dan Terminus and Perturbator fans will enjoy this. Great driving or walking album! 4/5 Favorite track: The Monsters Came From the Sky.

WaitingfortheTurningPoint Take me back to the 80s why don’t you! This album reminds me of a long lost John Carpenter movie soundtrack.

about

Prolific shapeshifters HAIL SPIRIT NOIR, of Greek origin, discard their progressive robes to celebrate their 10th anniversary with a one-off, synthwave, sci-fi pop album, "Mannequins".

Album number five of HAIL 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-founder Haris. The metamorphosis "Mannequins" brings about, puts on display how untamed and diverse can HAIL SPIRIT NOIR truly be, and positions the band in a whole new perspective, among the likes of Carpenter Brut, Perturbator or Dance With The Dead.

"This album completes the band’s shift in the ‘80s era," Haris comments. "Even though we used loads of synths and production techniques of that era, it is still a modern album to our ears. We wanted to write a musical background to a horror story Theoharis and myself had on mind. We wrote lots of new material but we also remixed a few tracks and ideas from our entire discography. Mannequins is a sci-fi pop / horror synthwave album. 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."

When asked about the band's future, he adds: "This new sound shouldn't be considered as a permanent change of our style. It's a special way of celebrating our tenth year of existence; it's something we always wanted to record".

All music was recorded by Haris and Sakis, with vocals by Cons Marg and story concept by Theoharis. The album was mixed and mastered by Dimitris Douvras. Fesq.project crafted the artwork and Nikos Tsiolis prepared the layout. The band recorded a music video for the album's title track. It's expected to be revealed in June.
