Pail is the musical project of Manix S., who was born in Vitoria, the city where he lives in and where he has his own studio, the place where he composes and creates his music. This music can be globally defined as electro-industrial, containing as well many varied influences such as breakbeat, crossover or ambient. That is, a sonorous orgy conceived over abrasive rhythms clashing with cutting surroundings of electronic distortion. Samplers, sequences, synthesizers... but also guitars incrusted in the final mass together with ultra-cared voices.
"Epidemic", his debut album, was a shattering attack of industrial techno set up over twelve breathless themes. It was edited by his own company, Caustic Records, which was created as an alternative to the lack of solid discographic options that there are in Spain for this kind of music. In January of 1999, "Epidemic" was published in Germany through the company Dion Fortune/ECR. The record was distributed all through Europe, the United States and Canada, being a great success in all of them. Because of this, the name of Pail appeared in the main magazines and publications of the European industrial scene, having repercussion even in Russia, Ukraine or Romania. Besides, Pail appears in international compilatory albums, sharing space with important bands such as Front Line Assembly, Wumpscut, Haujobb, Dive, Biopsy...
Although Pail is a project conceived for only one person, he always appears in his live performances with a formation composed by six people: six musicians (voice-samples, mix-synthesizers, guitar and drums) and two performers.
