Yamantaka Sonic Titan

If you missed YT//ST when it was first released then you missed one of the best releases of the past few years. They are currently recording a follow-up to this great album and it should be ready by this fall. In the meantime, discover or re-visit their stunning debut and be patient. Good things come to those who wait.

“At times, YT//ST feels like some sort of ritual guide into another world. There, priestess attempt to drone a second sight into followers, standing in a forest of shuddering percussive trees, just at the edge of a sea of jagged guitar waves.” - Consequence of Sound

“Volcanic prog-rock colored with equal parts post-punk urgency, stoner-metal heft, and psychedelic pop whimsy.” - Pitchfork (8.2/10)

“The album is as harrowing as the black and white cover, a wasteland, fallen from the sky, drawn ambiguously in the foreground with darker elements looming in the background.” - The Examiner

“The music they create is a compelling blend of psych-rock, metal and thundering atmosphere.” – Stereogum

”Yamantaka // Sonic Titan, whose so-called "Noh-wave" is heavy and hallucinogenic, blending influences such as Boredoms, Black Sabbath and Japanese manga.” - The Guardian

“We realized Canada’s Yamantaka // Sonic Titan was basically the most amazing band on the planet when we heard their debut album YT//ST. That gorgeous mountain of rock led us to interview the entire band for about an hour, in which time they basically took turns blowing our minds. Their awesomeness is top of mind” - MTV
