new metal band (jazz/prog/doom elements)...

[HTH AMPS]

not sure if anyone has heard of this band - YAKUZA.  after a couple of listens it really draws you in... http://www.myspace.com/yakuza

the song Lucifer Sam is the one that piqued my interest - it's a weird mix, but works a treat.

I've heard the name, never listened to them insofar as I recall, but I'll give 'em, a bash.

They're on Profound Lore which puts them in great company with the likes of Cobalt, Portal, Agalloch, Yob, Krallice, Coffinworm, Alcest (who are playing at this November's DAMNATION FESTIVAL Plug Plug Plug  :lol:), Caina, The Gates of Slumber, Nadja...

Top Label

where is Damnation on at again - I should really go, sounds like lots of great metal (2nd chance for shameless plug nfe)   :lol:

^ I don't doubt it...

;)

As for YAkuza, they're pretty interesting...

[MDV]

Yeah, they've been an occasional listen of mine. I dont like them uniformly, but they've got some really cool parts.

Woah. Earthtone9 and Anaal Nakrath on the same bill? Cool.

And is that the Aussie metal weirdos Portal too?

Tempting to herd some folks together & make a weekend of it.
