Hello All!
Залит Appalooza/(2021)_Live_At_Smoky_Van_Sessions_(EP)
Еще одна группа, в которой нет ничего французского - бретонское трио
"Аппалуза".
Суровые и принципиальные тяжметаллисты/хардрокеры.
Тяжело судить по коротенькой ЕП-шке, но в принципе мне понравилось.

APPALOOZA is a long-gone stallion speeding after a lost freedom. Formed in
Brest, France, in 2012,they take their cue from the alt-heavy firepower of
Alice in Chains, the rock'n'roll stampede of the likes of Queens of the Stone
Age or Them Crooked Vultures, propelling themselves with a creativity and sense
of direction that are only the essence of great bands. Spirituality and ancient
myths color a spacious sound that nonetheless worships at the altar of modern
and unwaveringly hard-hitting heavy rock.
APPALOOZA released their first two demos “Squamata” and
“Chameleon” respectively in 2013 and 2014, further to which they
embarked across the pond for their first ever US tour, taking them to Colorado,
Nevada and California. Fired up by a brand new energy ensuing from this
successful experience, the band officially released their eponymous debut
in2018, quickly followed by a second North American taking them from the
Midwest lands to the Pacific Coast. Some hundred shows later, they signed to
Californian powerhouse Ripple Music for the release of their sophomore album
"The Holy Of Holies" on February 5th, 2021. The beginning of a new era driven
by an album that perfectly embodies the trio’s musical and visual
reincarnation, through an intense sonic escape and ultimately, freedom.
Says APPALOOZA: “‘The Holy Of Holies’ is an ironic comment on
religion. A storm is coming and ready to send mankind to a certain death. They
are deprived and punished for their individualism, appearing already dead. They
accept it and seek a new being to venerate, then send a scapegoat to the desert
with all their sins, to find the demon Azazael, the Holy of Holies. This fallen
angel takes possession of mankind. He reincarnates them into a half-man
half-beast species by transplanting a horse skull, symbol of a lost freedom.
Our lyrics deal with subjects such as the lie of religion, the failure to
assist a person in distress, the exploitation of man by man, the disappointment
that one may have in general towards people, the eternal questioning about our
existence and the universe.”
Appalooza gifts us with an unforgettable live under a blazing sun.
Defend their new album “The Holy of Holies” (2021) is not even a
challenge for them as it is effective and gripping. With an effortless
virtuosity, the Breton trio delivers a sharp set in this corn amphitheater.
