Zetak is a Basque metal band that formed in 2008. Their music often features Basque language lyrics and draws from the region's history, as heard in songs like "Akelarretan," which references Basque witch trials. The band includes vocalist Estitxu Arozena, guitarist Iñaki Bengoa, bassist Josu Olazabal, and drummer Hasier Lakuntza.
Their sound incorporates progressive metal and folk elements, and they've toured in Spain, France, and other parts of Europe. Other tracks like "Errepidean" and "Zeinen Ederra Izango Den" show their range within their established style.
Some of their work has sparked debate over its treatment of historical themes, particularly around witchcraft and paganism. This hasn't stopped them from building a dedicated audience that connects with their blend of regional identity and heavy music.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
