Electro-Metal Force BOUM PATAT Drop New Video “Je Suis Zat”
A Wild Party Anthem
Belgium’s electro-fun-metal disruptors BOUM PATAT return with “Je Suis Zat”, a bilingual, high-energy anthem taken from their upcoming debut Ma Belgitude (out October 31, 2025 via Wormholedeath). The track celebrates both the chaos of partying and the harsh clarity of the morning after, balancing pounding riffs with tongue-in-cheek lyrics and a playful self-awareness.
As Metal Devastation Radio noted, the song is “equal parts chaotic and clever—a soundtrack for reckless nights and sobering dawns.”
About the Song
“Je Suis Zat” thrives on groove-heavy guitars, electronic flourishes, and Olivier Wittenberg’s sharp vocal delivery. The chorus becomes a chant, a mix of humor and honesty about indulgence, ego, and regret. The combination of industrial punch and Belgian wit makes it stand out in today’s metal landscape.
BOUM PATAT’s Identity
Fronted by Olivier Wittenberg—formerly drummer and composer of Manic Movement—the project blends heavy riffs, old-school electronic sounds, and humor that pushes against metal’s usual seriousness. In the 2000s, Olivier toured with Kreator, Moonspell, and Psychotic Waltz, as well as major festivals like Graspop Metal Meeting. With Ma Belgitude, he channels that experience into something playful yet musically sharp.
Live, BOUM PATAT transform into a trio with Laurent Soulasse (bass) and Maxime Demulder (drums), ensuring that the energy captured on record explodes on stage.
Critical Take
The combination of satirical lyricism and relentless grooves places BOUM PATAT in a unique position within modern metal. Reviewers from Rockportaal praised the band’s ability to “marry absurdity with real sonic power,” calling the single “a refreshing antidote to the overly serious tone of much of the genre.”
