Album Notes & Community Reviews

On their second album 'Wheels of 脰mon', Japanese trio Kuunatic continues to explore their self-made fantasy mythology with a sound that fuses psychedelic prog-rock with traditional Japanese instruments and tribal, chanted vocals. The record builds upon the narrative of their debut, creating an immersive, otherworldly experience that feels like witnessing an intense, ancient ritual from another planet. It's a bewildering and eccentric journey, blending the anarchic energy of punk with the epic, high-concept storytelling of progressive rock.
