Yakuza

Svart Records unveils "Sutra" the new album from grand master avant-garde overlords Yakuza. Formed in 1999, Chicago based heavy hybridizers Yakuza, are in a genre all of its own, which Pitchfork describe as a "a specialized and strange alloy" So eclectic and hard to pigeon-hole, their music has been described over the years as everything from avant-garde metal, progressive metal, alternative metal to experimental rock, jazz metal, art metal and post-metal. Incorporating psychedelic rock jams that sprawl into heavy, sludging Doom with jazz influences, while also incorporating breakneck grind riffs and grooves, makes Yakuza's new album "Sutra" a long awaited and insanely enjovable feast of frequencies. Yakuza is James Staffel-Drums, Matt McClelland-guitar, Jerome Marshall-bass, Bruce Lamont-Vocals and Saxophones.
