YAKUZA schedules live shows to finish off year, will debut new material
Chicago’s prog-minded metal band YAKUZA have secured several more live appearances before the end of the year, including an October appearance supporting fellow Chicagoans Pelican in Cleveland Heights, OH and a string of dates in November and December alongside Misery Index, Intronaut and labelmates BURN IN SILENCE. More dates will be announced as they are confirmed.

YAKUZA continues to support the critically-lauded ‘Samsara,’ the band’s Prosthetic Records debut, but will be road testing some new material the band has already written for a forthcoming record tentatively scheduled to be recorded early next year. YAKUZA has already shared tour dates earlier this year with Dysrhythmia, Behold...The Arctopus, 3, Angel Eyes, The Number 12 Looks Like You, and The JonBenet, as well as appearance at the Eighth Annual New England Metal and Hardcore Festival.

With praise from metal and indie press alike, Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles has proclaimed that YAKUZA’s “foaming at the mouth musical delivery is complemented by some of the raddest and most cohesively efficient song structures out there.” Meanwhile, Kerrang has labeled 'Samsara' “a stupefying collision of lumbering, fuzzed-up riffs, prog-jazz oddness and warped psychedelia, played with enough shamanistic force to make the sky collapse itself.” Recorded with producer/engineer Matt Bayles (Pearl Jam, Isis) in the band’s hometown, 'Samsara' features guest appearances from pianist Jim Baker, cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm, Sanford Parker, and Mastodon's Troy Sanders.
