Frontiers Music Srl is excited to announce the signing of the progressive metal act LALU to the label for a multi-album deal. LALU is a musical project originally founded in 2004 by the French composer and producer Vivien Lalu, son of Noelle and Michel Lalu (members of the ‘70s French progressive act Polène). ‘Paint The Sky’ will be the first album with Frontiers, and third album overall from the band.
It is easily the most accomplished and mature album put together by Vivien thus far in his career. Being the son of two progressive musicians from the '70s and growing up surrounded by progressive music, Vivien always wanted to craft a true-to-its-roots progressive rock album. He spent a lot of time laying down the basics for the new effort and along with this new album comes a change in vocalist specifically designed for this more progressive version of LALU.
In May 2020, Vivien announced Damian Wilson (Arena, Headspace, Threshold) as the lead vocalist for ´Paint The Sky’.LALU's lineup on the album is rounded out by Jelly Caldarelli (on drums) and Joop Wolters (guitars and bass).
LALU's first full-length album, ‘Oniric Metal’ garnered critical acclaim upon its release, including being named ‘Album of the Month’ in Rock Hard Magazine, and marked a new chapter for Vivien and his insatiable need to create mind-expanding, cinematic music.After collaborating with Shadow Gallery on ‘Digital Ghosts’, working with Lazlo Jones on his debut album, and the original soundtrack of Warner Bros. movie ‘Seuls Two’.
