While still very much active in Akphaezya, three of the band’s core members, including the inimitable vocalist Hakata Ooh, have quietly unleashed a new beast: Santa Cadabra. Their debut track, “La Tzigane”, is a razor-sharp hybrid of alternative metal and rap, channeling the manic energy of System of a Down, the groove of Incubus, and the bite of Rage Against the Machine, without sounding like a nostalgia playlist.
The video, crafted by CanaProd (known for their work with Les Tambours du Bronx, Akiavel, Scarlean…), wraps the song in sarcastic, almost carnivalesque imagery. The lyrics tell a different story, darker, more intimate, steeped in sorrow beneath the bravado. That tension between sound, image, and text? It’s the whole point.
Santa Cadabra isn’t trying to rewrite metal history. They’re just dragging it through a funhouse mirror and we’re here for the distortion.
Watch “La Tzigane” and try not to headbang while questioning your reality:
