Meanwhile, Yakuza hits the road March 9, which includes appearances at South By Southwest, including a showcase alongside Serj Tankian. Yakuza continues to support the critically-acclaimed Transmutations, which saw a summer 2007 release through Prosthetic Records. The follow-up to Samsara, Transmutations was recorded with producer and multi-instrumentalist Sanford Parker (RWAKE, PELICAN, MINSK) in Chicago and has spawned a video for the track “Black Market Liver” which was directed by Sara Jean and is available online below.
