Ukandanz returns with Evil Plan የክፋት እቅድ, a sixth album that is breaking all records! The Franco-Ethiopian group continues its sonic odyssey begun fifteen years ago, where Ethiopian music from the 1970s is boosted with rock, noise and experimental music. Still propelled by the raw energy of guitarist Damien Cluzel, Ukandanz offers a haunting reinterpretation of ethiojazz, where Asnake Gebreyes's voice floats, roars and dances with intensity. Evil Plan brings together everything that makes the band so powerful: rhythmic trance, nervous riffs, fiery polyrhythms and a completely reinvented art of cover songs. The opening track, Yene Felagote by Tlahoun Gèssèssè, sets the tone: electric tension and incandescent groove. And the band pushes the experimentation even further with two instrumentals where they break free from vocals to explore new sonic territories. A dazzling demonstration of their collective virtuosity and freedom of tone. But the highlight is undoubtedly War Pigs, a monumental cover of Black Sabbath, translated into Amharic and intensely embodied by Asnake. A visceral, anti-war reinterpretation that resonates powerfully with Ethiopia's recent history.
