Band Line Up 2015
unique cocktail of death metal attitude and 1930s-esque New
Orleans jazz swing and bounce and booze, France’s Trepalium have created a
brand new enticing cocktail of foot-tapping groove metal. So strong is the swing that you’ll find
yourself nodding along automatically – any listener who can resist the urge is
either amazingly strong-willed, or just stone deaf.
Voodoo Moonshine, the band’s fifth studio release, is a short
but sweet collection combining voodoo mysticism and prohibition speakeasy
culture. Playing alongside the band are a full jazz woodwind/brass group,
further enhancing the infectious rhythms. Keep an ear out as well for the
appearance of Gojira’s Joseph Duplantier on track 2, Damballa’s Voodoo Ball.
An active band for 13 years, Trepalium are well-known in their
native France. Having already sold thousands of albums and undertaken two tours
with Gojira, as well as playing Hellfest four times, Trepalium are sure to draw
many more listeners under their voodoo hoodoo.
