La mise en place de HUATA (doom occulte from outer space) est un poil plus longue, car il faut savoir que ça enchaîne à toute vitesse entre les deux salles du Klub depuis 18h ! Pas de répit pour les braves ! Du coup j’observe : un ampli estampillé “Worship” avec la même typo qu’une célèbre marque d’amplis oranges, un synthé en devant de scène, sur lequel sont posés une Bible, un bière et une grosse croix en bois… Les deux derniers items titillent carrément ma curiosité, c’est alors que je vois débarquer un espèce de (jeune) prêtre barbu alcoolique et 3 zikos. S’en suit une grosse, grosse, grooooosse, ÉNOOOORME bouffée de doom arrosée très régulièrement de gorgées d’un truc qui ressemble à du liquoreux et qui passe de bouche en bouche entre les membres du groupe. Mais sinon c’est vachement sympa HUATA : au début j’ai pensé à Ghost pour l’imagerie pseudo-religieuse, sauf que non, rien à voir. Je sens encore mes organes vibrer…

Dr. Doom's lair said :
his past month my player was flooded with all sorts of tunes coming from France and I have to tell you that so far there is no single French band that sounds remotely bad. MARS RED SKY, VERDUN, BARABBAS and now HUATA showcase some of the best material I’ve heard the last couple of years and they are all French! Talking about French revolution ha?
Enough with the intro! Now, pay attention here folks because this review is about a band that is going to be huge. Although I don’t like what Roadburn Fest is turning into, the fact that HUATA is invited to this year’s Roadburn right from their debut, should provide some sort of evidence that this band is for real!
Slow, bone-crashing, Satan worshiping, dope infused, doom is their game and they play it good! HUATA’s most obvious influence is ELECTRIC WIZARD and I would say it’s a quite strong one (listen to the intro of “Thee Imperial Wizard” for example). Yet they do it in a non-provocative way and I think it won’t cause discomfort to anyone, more importantly to the fans of ELECTRIC WIZARD. The band also seems to respect the experimental spirit of acts such as RAMESSES, while THE WOUNDED KINGS guitar riffs start to become a necessary influence for any contemporary doom band.
My complements should go to the amazing vocals (that sound like a more approachable version of Oborn’s style) and the smart use of the Hammond organ. Needless to say that guitar riffs are catchy as hell, dirtier than a swamp and heavy as a mammoth.
To be totally honest here “Atavist of Mann” is more like a diamond in the rough. There are some minor things I didn’t like but most importantly I wasn’t quite happy with the fact that there are many dead periods. I believe that all songs could afford being 2-3 minutes shorter. Nevertheless, I am quite certain that HUATA will find the perfect balance between atmosphere and heavy metal action.
Until then I will listen to “Lords of the Flame” – a premature nomination for 2012 best doom song – together with “Fall of the 4th” and I’ll be waiting with a burning anticipation for some new material.
