Manix S. does not release a lot of records, but every few years has a habit to deign his listeners with a polished material. While bringing Pail project into existence, this artist also created his own record label - Caustic Records. Responsible for the creative process as well as for production side of the recordings, just at the very beginning of his career he has focused the attention of electro and industrial fans, still capable to maintain it, and surprise again the audience with every subsequent release. Therefore, it is worth to wait for the next material of this band. Pail devotees have become accustomed to the fact, that each album edition is followed by a several year break. In return they receive from time to time a disc, by which they can be fed with the presented sound.
Sharp rhythm, cut, distorted vocals and pounding tones based on analog bass lines, are the characteristic features of the album.
On "Faith In The Void" are used many different elements, ranging from industrial, ambient, ebm and electro. The third disc once again supplies a varied rhythm, which strikes gradually the senses of the spectators in a new, unique way, both at the level of connecting individual sounds, and sometimes leading to unexpected results. That how it is with "Ingenieria Del Consentimiento", where the fast beat imposed from the above, methodically moves the center of gravity, evolving still in a danceable, but with every minute more and more relentlessly looped track.
Among tracks on the last record stands out "Silence," which has a structure built around acoustic guitar sound, and its main theme is developing slowly in the direction of a complicated puzzle, created by multi-layer structure of reverberation.
With such an album, everyone can feel like a hunter wielding a trophy.
Rising over everything is a spirit of the well-known Front Line Assembly, partly thanks to the contribution which is brought in by Greg Reely production, who also kept vigilance over mixing of the whole.
Apparently nothing new, but nonetheless, it is an intriguing disc, with an emotionally variable blast, that is both critical to everyday social behavior and ruthless when it comes to mixing different styles of music. All these efforts has a purpose to create a new point of reference for the already well-known sounds. And these actions are greatly effective.
