Hebi Katana to Release Impermanence June 24 on Argonauta Records
Posted in Whathaveyou on May 11th, 2022 by JJ Koczan
Hebi Katana self-released their second album, Impermanence, this past February in their native Japan, and the impending Argonauta-backed edition of the record will broaden that distribution and bring the Tokyo trio to wider recognition well earned by their riffs. For what reportedly began as a pandemic project — I had one too; it was called not leaving the house — Hebi Katana have been distinctly productive since their outset, and as you can see below in their video for “Pain Should I Take” and indeed in the full-length as a whole, which is streaming in its entirety on their Bandcamp, their heart is well in the right place when it comes to heavy, doom infused chicanery.
This isn’t the first time band and imprint have worked together either, as the PR wire informs:
Japanese Doom Metal Trio HEBI KATANA Announces New Album With Argonauta Records!
Impermanence coming out on June 24th!
Tokyo, Japan-based doom metal trio, HEBI KATANA, has announced the worldwide release of their latest, sophomore studio album, Impermanence. Following an exclusive Japanese edition, the album will be released on June 24, 2022 via Argonauta Records!
HEBI KATANA was formed in 2020 in the midst of the pandemic. Of what started in extensive jam sessions and first demo recordings on an iPhone, should soon become a monolith of a heavy doom debut, when the trio took the heavy music community by storm with their self-released album. In 2021, the Samurai doomsters teamed up with the Italian powerhouse label Argonauta, who released their first full-length album as a part of the Argonauta LTD100 Vinyl-series.
While HEBI KATANA‘s second album, Impermanence, was distributed earlier this year, in February via Unforgiven Blood Records (Disc Union) in Japan, heavy and classic doom metal fans, who have a soft spot for 70’s vintage rock, dark melodies, big groove and a hint of grunge, should give ear and watch out, when Impermanence will be available in the rest of world this summer! To get you in the mood, the band has just unleashed a music video for Pain Should I Take, watch the clip right here.
Impermanence was recorded by HEBI KATANA at studio Koyama and Yasuzo place in Koenji, and was produced, mixed and mastered by Yukito Okazaki (Eternal Elysium) at studio ZEN.
