YAMANTAKA // SONIC TITAN
One of the most intriguing and least well-known contenders for the now-decided Polaris Music Prize was the kabuki theater heavy metal project YAMANTAKA // SONIC TITAN.
The band (who prefer to be considered an art collective) use elaborate Asian-themed costumes and props in their pummeling live shows and I got a chance to talk to them about said shows.
