Japanese metal juggernaut KNOSIS, the visionary project led by acclaimed multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Ryo Kinoshita, return with a blistering new single "TANEBI."
It's the latest offering from their forthcoming debut full-length album, GENKNOSIS, arriving August 1 via SharpTone Records.
Following the release of the pulverizing singles "FUHAI" (featuring Yukina of Hanabie), "SHINMON," and the emotionally raw "DOKUNUMA," "TANEBI" (translated as "Seed Fire") continues to build the firestorm around GENKNOSIS. Combining razor-sharp riffs, thunderous rhythms, and Kinoshita's signature blend of guttural intensity and haunting melody, the track captures KNOSIS at their most urgent and dynamic.
With each new release, KNOSIS are solidifying their place as one of the most compelling and forward-thinking voices in modern heavy music. GENKNOSIS promises a genre-defying exploration of spiritual tension, emotional collapse, and the will to rise.
