YAKUZA Cancels ROADBURN Appearance
April 17, 2010Avant-garde progressive experimental metal band YAKUZA has been forced to cancel tonight's (April 17) appearance at the Roadburn festival — which is being held this weekend at the 013 and Midi Theatre in Tilburg, Holland — after a cloud of ash from an Icelandic volcano continued to blanket Europe Saturday, shutting down airspace in 23 countries and causing travel misery for millions of people.
Commented frontman Bruce Lamont: "We deeply regret not being able to travel to Roadburn. We hope to return in 2011."
YAKUZA will release its new album, "Of Seismic Consequence", on June 8 via Profound Lore Records. The CD was recorded at Semaphore Recording Studios in Chicago, Illinois with producer Sanford Parker (PELICAN, MINSK).
A track from the forthcoming CD, "Stones And Bones", is available for free download at Stereogum.com.
YAKUZA's last album, "Transmutations", was released in August 2007 through Prosthetic Records.
