ZHAAT - originally just a fantasy word that was supposed to correspond to music, without restriction and value-free, confusing, mystical. Only in retrospect did it turn out that the word comes from Arabic and means "essence" or is equated with "the innermost (core / soul / drive) of a being". Coincidence? Fate? Curious in any case, especially since the band makes use of oriental scales, sounds and images and likes to overcome rigid boundaries not only musically, but also artistically in the direction of the Orient.
The quartet from Leipzig has been developing its own sound since 2018. Experimental post-HC is woven with heavy psychedelic stoner rock into a carpet of sound that stands out in its coloring. Isolated oriental melodies and rhythms create a mystically hypnotic mix that contrasts the heavy guitar walls with a certain lightness.

Die überaus sympathische Band RED MESS, fügt die rohen Sounds des 90er-Grunge mit der Schwere des Stonerrock und der Experimentierlust des Progressive Rock zusammen. Stets wiedererkennbar bleibt die prägnante, unverwechselbare Stimme, die hier eindringlich und voller Emotion über das eigene Seelenleben Auskunft gibt. Aber auch die musikalische Finesse, das Können und die Energie der Band ist beeindruckend.
