Yamantaka/Sonic Titan

YT//ST

7.0 out of 10

Credit drummer/producer Alaska B for making this blended—post-punk, metal, opera, ambient, prog—sound not just natural but seamless. There’s a lot of moving parts here, with singing both in English (which I sorta deciphered through the noise) and Japanese (which I can’t decipher at all), but it’s controlled, oddly gorgeous chaos.

Reminds you of: Yuka Honda / Boredoms / King Crimson / John Zorn, in his “film soundtracks” mode
