Brittany-based heavy rock powerhouse APPALOOZA release their fourth album “The Emperor of Loss” through Ripple Music. APPALOOZA are purveyors of a massive and fire-driven sound that blends stoner rock, grunge rock, metal and tribal percussion in a highly organic way, all propelled by Wild Horse’s magnetic baritone vocals. Expect to be taken on a dark and powerful rock journey as the mighty trio returns with their heaviest album to date. Their new album “The Emperor of Loss” is powerful and visceral concept album that explores the psychological depths of emotional captivity, domestic violence, and the mourning of one’s identity. “It marks a darker chapter compared to its predecessor, yet it stays true to Appalooza’s core identity. We’re continuing to forge the path that feels authentic to who we are, both musically and artistically,” says the band. Through a circular narrative, where the end meets the beginning, it portrays the tortuous journey of a woman grappling with Stockholm Syndrome, caught in the grip of her persecutor, a figure both tyrannical and deeply internal.
