The genre-defying trio KOMARA<\/strong> returns with KOMARA II<\/em><\/strong>, a powerful and immersive new release that pushes sonic boundaries and challenges musical convention. Featuring King Crimson<\/strong> drummer Pat Mastelotto<\/strong>, Slovakian avant-garde guitarist David Kollar<\/strong>, and visionary Italian trumpeter Paolo Raineri<\/strong>, the trio weaves ambient textures, industrial grit, and jazz-infused improvisation into a dark, cinematic soundscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building on the bold spirit of their acclaimed debut, KOMARA II<\/em> welcomes special guests Arve Henriksen <\/strong>(trumpet on \u201cKomarantino\u201d), Bill Munyon<\/strong> (voice on \u201cNot Our Way\u201d), and Deborah Carter Mastelotto<\/strong> (voice on \u201cRelocating Children\u201d and \u201cBurning Man\u201d), adding further depth to the album\u2019s rich and experimental palette. Once again, the visual aesthetic is elevated by a striking cover design from Tool<\/strong> guitarist and artist Adam Jones<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band will perform select European dates this summer with special guest Trey Gunn<\/strong>\u2014Pat Mastelotto\u2019s former King Crimson bandmate\u2014joining the lineup for an even more expansive live experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
