Taking cues from Faith No More, Devin Townsend, Mastodon, and Dillinger Escape Plan, French quartet Tranzat have returned with their third studio LP, Ouh La La: an audacious and riveting prog-metal opus, to be released on April 1 through Klonosphere Records.
Watch the cheeky undead video for “Lord Dranula” below:
Formed in 2015 in Brest, France, for reasons beyond comprehension, Tranzat self-produced their first two records, 2016’s Hellish Psychedelia and 2018’s The Great Disaster, this one with the support of Black Desert Records.
The group—Manuel Liegard (guitar/vocals), Nicolas Galakhoff (bass), Benjamin Arbellot (guitar), and Thomas Coïc (drums)—have opened for international bands such as Kadavar, Shining (NO), Mos Generator and Mass Hysteria, and have toured with Angelus Apatrida on the French Motocultor Night Fever Tour.
Ouh La La is the deed of four entertaining thirty-somethings with a weird taste in clothes who decided to bet big on music. The album was recorded at The Apiary studio (Birds in Row, Plebeian Grandstand) and boldly eschews genres, subgenres, and subgenres of subgenres to offer up honest, eclectic, unpredictable and playful music.
