Artist: PAVILLON
ROUGE
Album: Mizuage
Year: 2008
Pavillon Rouge is a French industrial black metal band,
existing since late 2007. It consists of three members (including
(ex-)members of Sybreed and KHK), who shared the idea to
mix the black metal of Aborym and Emperor with the
industrial tunes of Ministry, Nine Inch Nails and 80's
new wave. 'Mizague' is the first physical proof of
existence; a four track EP which has some wicked cover
art.
The release opens with the title track, which turns out
to be an intro, to be followed by 'Cauchemar Kashmir'.
It's a midtempo industrial black metal track with faster
and slower passages here and there. It has excellent
riffing, dark and raw screaming vocal lines and
refreshing synth lines that are generously added here
and there. The wicked programming spreads like a plague
all over the track, and the surprisingly cool sounding
clean vocal parts fits the song very well. 'La Porte de
Jade' comes up next. It is a more atmospheric one, with
again very wicked programming. The vocal lines matches
the riffing excellently, and some slightly added wave
influences give it a little more industrial touch. Again
the clean vocal parts sound surprisingly fresh. The
release ends with a cover of the BlackLodge song 'T.A.O.S.'.
It's a nice cover, played in the own Pavillon Rouge
style with the wicked drums and excellent black metal
vocals.
In the end, the Mizague EP turns out to be a more than
nice introduction with Pavillon Rouge. All the tracks
are more than decently constructed, and the extravagant
wicked drumming sounds refreshing within the industrial
black metal corners. Definitely a band to keep a closer
eye on if you like stuff such as Aborym, BlackLodge and
HerrSchaft.
Vote: 85 / 100
