KOMARA II by KOMARA

The genre-defying trio KOMARA returns with KOMARA II, a powerful new release that pushes sound boundaries and challenges musical convention. Featuring King Crimson drummer Pat Mastelotto, avant-garde guitarist David Kollar, and visionary trumpeter Paolo Raineri, the album blends ambient textures, industrial grit, and jazz-infused improvisation into a haunting, cinematic experience.

Special guests include Arve Henriksen, Deborah Carter Mastelotto and sound designer Bill Munyon, adding further depth to the album's rich, experimental palette. As with their first album, this release is visually anchored by a striking cover design from Tool guitarist and visual artist Adam Jones.

The band will perform several shows this summer in Europe with Pat's former King Crimson bandmate Trey Gunn joining the band.

Komara Il is available in as a 4 panel CD wallet.
