DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
    Now available on vinyl from Apathia Records, on black vinyl limited to two hundred fifty copies.
   The killer debut album of instrumental Zorn-ified electro-ADD-metal from France's Pryapisme, Rococo Holocaust is another genre-bending avant metal freak-out with amazing musicianship and gobs of virtuosic weirdness. They remind me a lot of another French band, Carnival In Coal, in the way that they dexterously shift from black metal and other extreme metal forms into anything from jazz, chamber music, disco and electronica. I actually really dig the fact that this is entirely instrumental, as the music is complex and confusing enough to absorb without some maniac squawking in my ear.
    Pryapisme introduces their album with the pulsating Italo disco and 80s synthesizers of "Suppozitorium Granifujnikoi?" that makes a hairpin turn into intricate 8-bit electronica, and then morphs into a mathy chiptune grind spasm for a minute, veers into game show theme music for a few seconds, then pirouettes back into the Next Life-esque chiptune metal that erupts into blasting digital grindcore. From here, it shifts again into an epic industrial dirge laced with video game melody, pipe organs, and stuttering mechanized drums, dissipates into eerie orchestral drift with a lone cello rising up for a moment, becomes glitchy and processed, and then cuts to a jazzy prog jam with vibraphone, piano, jazz bass and analogue synthesizers that turns into this weird mashup of Mr Bungle and Goblin. That's just the first song.
    The second, "Le Doryphone De Kafka" starts with Caribbean steel drums that introduce a very odd carnival-funk calypso metal fusion flecked with scorching solos and frantic jazz piano workouts, the drums launching into blast beats underneath the super complex jazz fusion, shifting into sleazy 70's funk, and then in blink of eye turns into modern jazz with gorgeous melodic horns.
    The whole album is like this. Each song is a wild and intricately arranged patchwork of sounds and styles that can border on the ridiculous, but it's all put together really well, and seems to center the music around a core sound of chamber prog and black metal that the band keeps returning to throughout all of this, even as they zip out through disco passages and awesome Univers Zero style dark prog into that chiptune metal, Emperor-esque symphonic black metal and skittering electronica, baroque chamber jazz. Imagine an insane mix of Mr Bungle, Emperor, Univers Zero, Whourkr and Amber Asylum, and that's sort of where Pryapisme's Rococo Holocaust ends up. Sort of. This album would have fit right in on Web Of Mimicry, and fans of that label's general aesthetic are recommended to look into these crazed avant-prog / metal shapeshifters.   © CRUCIAL BLAST
