Yakuza - Transmutations

[Krilons Resa]

Another personal favorite. I know NAD is a big fan as well. Mixing post hardcore, clean vox, aggressive vox, technical grindcore, and the lead vocalist even plays the saxophone. Listen to this shit. I predict you guys would enjoy this more than any of the other "recs" I put up last week.

I was thinking of recoomending Isis, or maybe Hammers of Misfortune. But I wonder if they're confidential enough...

 

[General Zod]

Awesome live band as well.

 

[Reign in Acai]

I've heard of this band back when anal was still cool, never bothered to check them out due to the silly name. Awesome stuff thus far, which album is the best to start with for full absorption?

 

[Krilons Resa]

This album; Transmutations

This is fucking gooooooooooooooooood! Can you post some prime songs from their other albums?

 

[NAD]

Transmutations saved my fucking life, along with In A Silent Way by Miles Davis. I listened to those two albums every night when coming home from LA when I was playing music out there a few years ago. So god damn great, I like their other stuff as well but this album is mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmagic.

Oh yeah and the vox/sax dude plays Robert Plant in one of the bigger Led Zeppelin tribute acts around. On one hand it pisses me off that the dude's popular gig is a tribute band, not at him but at idiots who only listen to the same ol' same ol' without branching out to new shit (you know, like fucking Yakuza). On the other I figure "hey, that dude has it figured out: pay the billz with Zep 2, make amazing music with Yakuza, win-win."

Either way, it is entertaining.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Thanks for bumping, this is outstanding.

Jerry, what do you mean? Dude, you need to stop checking out 43 bands per day and find stuff you dig and then digest/enjoy the fuck out of it spin-after-spin. Remember the days of yore before the internets?

Like a crackhead always trying to match that first high.

That's all I do nowadays bruh, I'm mature and sheet.


Anyhow, revisiting this, may pull the trigger and purchase.

Such a fantastic album. In my Top 26.03 of last decade fo' shizzle.

Perception Management = one of the greatest songs evAr.

How do ye gents rate Samsara by comparison?

 

[Krilons Resa]

It's prob their 2nd best but I am not as familiar with it. I think NAD is.

 

[NAD]

I like Samsara but I haven't heard it in years. Never picked up a copy, only ever spun it via mp3 noodling.

I should get it. I like Of Seismic Consequence, but not as much as this one. Also looks like they had a new one last year, shit!

haha, Metal Archives has an entry for Bruce Lamont but not Yakuza, wtf?! That's funny.

 

[Krilons Resa]

The release from last year, Beyul or w/e it is named, sucked hard imho. Of Seismic Consequence wore off quickly.

Transmutations FTW.
