Epic, unique prog metal from the Brittany region of France!On their long-awaited debut album, Le Dernier Rempart, French epic metallers Herzel not only champion vocals thatare sung in their native tongue but they unleash a concept born straight from their native region of Brittany!The Breton language is commonly used in the Brittany region of France. While in decline since the 1950s, Breton stillholds sway in Brittany, which is where emerging French epic metallers Herzel hail. Their name is Breton for"resisting," "braving," "holding on," "stopping" and preventing." The word possessed so much power for the bandthat they had but no choice to adopt it as their name in 2013. Fast-forward seven years and the band has broughttheir name to life in the form of their debut studio album, Le Dernier Rempart, a concept album about a characternamed Herzel.Influenced by U.S. metal stalwarts Manilla Road, Warlord, Queensryche, Heir Apparent, Omen and Virgin Steele, aswell as Celtic and French traditional music,
