Watcha is a French band that harnesses the fierce energy of an eclectic mix of genres, notably nu metal, rap metal, and groove metal. Rising from the vibrant Parisian underground music scene in the late 1990s, Watcha has carved out a unique identity through their dynamic fusion of heavy guitar riffs, rap-infused vocals, and a rhythm section that borrows from both metal and hip-hop influences. With a sound that is both aggressive and melodic, they became known for their potent and engaging live performances.

Their self-titled debut album "Watcha" emerged in 1998, establishing them as serious contenders within the French metal community. Following this, the band released a series of albums that further defined their sound and expanded their fanbase. "Veliki Cirkus," released in 1999, continued to build their reputation with its raw energy and innovative soundscapes. It was succeeded by "Mutant" in 2001 and "Phénix" in 2005, both albums showcasing the band’s maturity and evolving musicianship. "Phénix" in particular exemplifies their ability to harmonize the intensity of metal with more melodic and introspective moments. Throughout their career, Watcha remained true to their roots while experimenting with their sonic palette, earning them a respected place in the annals of French metal music.
