forthcoming album 'Transmutations' here
http://www.prosthetic
records.com/yakuza-instudio.html , featuring commentary and in-studio
photos.
"The tracking and mix is complete," frontman Bruce Lamont said of the
album's progress. "We had jazz percussionists Michael Zerang and Hamid Drake
come in for a few songs, it was a serious fucking honor. Man, I can't even
begin to tell you how happy we are with the results. The songs are varied as
always, this will never change...I will have to say, the label is gonna have
a good time trying to market this one! Sanford [Parker, producer] brought
the sonic continuity we have been striving for since day one. I'm really
proud of the dudes for steppin' up."
"We've also got some video coming up soon," Lamont added. "It's our version
of [Metallica documentary] 'Some Kind Of Monster' Awh shit!"
YAKUZA began demoing new material on February 28 at Semifour Studios in the
band's hometown. 'Transmutations' is being produced by Sanford Parker
(Pelican, Minsk, Rwake), who made a guest appearance on the band's last
release, "Samsara". A fall 2007 release through Prosthetic Records is
expected. The band will continue previewing new material live April 8 with
Genghis Tron and labelmates KYLESA as well as supporting Goatwhore on April
20.
