YAKUZA To Begin Recording First New Studio Album In Ten Years; Back Catalog To See Reissue On Vinyl Via War Crime Recordings! - @thebeast

ICYMI: Chicago’s   YAKUZA  will begin recording their long-awaited, as-yet-untitled new studio album!   The band will enter Palisades Studio with engineer S anford Parker (Yob, Voivod) later this month. The recording will  be completed and mixed at Parker’s own  Hypercube Studios . Set for worldwide release in the Spring of 2022, the record follows their critically lauded  Beyul  full-length (2012) and marks  YAUKZA ’s first official studio output in ten years!   Offers vocalist/saxophonist  Bruce Lamont,  “Ten years! You would think that a bunch has changed, Well, some has and some hasn’t. The shronky, heavy, hairpin tempo shifts are still there, now add more bottom end thanks to current bassist Jerome Marshall. This new batch of tunes is a nice mix of weird and riffy and we couldn’t be happier with how everything has come together.”   Adds bassist Jerome Marshall, “It’s a return to form from the origins of where the band began. A return to post-metal, avant-garde jazz-influenced heavy chaos with the structural balance of intrinsic order.”    The record will be released in North America via Lamont and Parker’s joint imprint, War Crime Recordings, with  Svart Recordings  handling Europe and beyond.   In related news, War Crime Recordings will reissue the  YAKUZA  back catalog on a limited-edition LP  throughout the coming months.  First up is 2012’s  Beyul  which has never before been available on vinyl.   Comments Lamont, “We over at War Crime Recordings have had a plan for a number of years to reissue all the  YAKUZA  LPs that haven’t seen the light day and then reissue the ones that have.  Beyul  was an obvious first choice. Originally released back in 2012 through Profound Lore, this reissue is a single LP gatefold edition. The mastering for the LP was done back in 2012 by Colin Jordon and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Next up... Way Of The Dead !”   Limited to 200 copies on translucent brown vinyl, order  Beyul  at  THIS LOCATION .
