Toulouse, France based Psych Fuzz rock trio Paddang share the official music video for the second single “Predator” taken from their upcoming album, “Lost In Lizardland,” set to release on June 6th, 2025 via Stolen Body Records, Le Cèpe Records and 98 Décibels.

Paddang is a Psychedelic Rock trio formed in Toulouse (France) in 2020. With Osees and King Crimson all over the radio and a band name inspired by a surf spot in Indonesia, Paddang are speeding through a cosmic epic that sounds like a Herbert prophecy. Far from hiding behind a wall of fuzz or a mountain of reverb, the three voices dictate the tone and invoke an urgent need to do something in a world on the brink of chaos. Their debut album “Chasing Ghosts” was released in March 2023, backed up by a fifty-date tour in France (including festivals such as Ecaussystème, Musicalarue, Montauban en scènes, Guitare en Scène, V&B Fest and support slots with bands such as MADAM, Pogo Car Crash Control, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, It It Anita).
Their second album will be released on June 6th 2025 on Le Cèpe Records & Stolen Body Records. After a first single, “Pressure” released in April, the band revealed a second track from the album, “Predator.”
Fierce and visceral, “Predator” explores the fragile boundary between human nature and primal instinct. It’s a raw track about survival, fear, and the predator that lies dormant within each of us. With powerful vocals and a relentless rhythm, it delivers an urgent message—where Rock becomes a weapon against apathy. “Predator” is more than just a song; it’s a cry against the loss of our humanity. Shot like the final episode of a thrilling B-movie, the “Predator” music video picks up where Pressure left off. Deep within the belly of a cave, the Lizard Corp industrialists have gone too far, recklessly exploiting Draconite, a stone of mystical energy. Mutated into reptilian creatures, they launch a savage hunt for Moros through the scorched landscapes of a dying planet. Rescued at the last moment by a mysterious guardian inspired by Quetzalcoatl, Moros sets off for Agartha – a legendary city where she hopes to find a glimpse of peace.
“Lost In Lizardland” is the soundtrack to an SF road movie that sounds like a Herbert prophecy. An improbable, almost absurd story, in which the listener evolves as he listens to each track. Much more than a simple children’s fable, this album proves to be a real warning about current global issues, so obvious are the parallels with our own reality. These 8 new tracks tell the story of Moros, a disillusioned young woman trying to survive in a world on the brink of collapse. It’s a rich, bewitching universe of contrasts, just like Paddang’s sound identity, where fuzz guitars rub shoulders with reverberant landscapes, while the voices unite to pave the way for unbridled rock that’s both raw and luminous. Recorded and mixed by Cédric Forestier at Stud du Sud, then mastered by Olivier Planchard, “Lost In Lizardland” develops a massive sound where the band’s Heavy Psych, Garage and Pop influences have never been so evident.
