Yakuza
Way Of The Dead CD (2002)
James Staffel discography
 $9.55  
Audio Mixers: Bruce Lamont; Eric Plonka. This album starts off with Tuvan throat singing, tribal drumming, and a tenor saxophone incantation that sounds like German free jazzer Peter Brötzmann in one of his more meditative moments -- and that's all just in the first minute. But soon enough, the band shifts into an odd-time math-thrash groove that makes it equally clear that Yakuza knows how to rock, too. Personnel: Eric Plonka (vocals, guitar); Bruce Lamont (vocals, soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone); Ken Vandermark (saxophone); James Staffel (drums, temple bell); Eric Clark (background vocals). Appeared on Warped Tour and the Milwaukee Metal fest. So in other words, you know right off that this is no ordinary metal album. Photographers: James Staffel; Katherine Baker. The rest of the band, though, sounds great -- they're obviously skilled musicians and, while at times their brainy tendencies come close to taking over, they make it clear that they're not afraid to play hard and get sweaty either. Recorded at Ghetto Love, Chicago, Illinois. Additional personnel: Ken Vandermark. Recording information: Ghetto Love, Chicago, IL. Through much of the album, Bruce Lamont's strained vocals give the impression that he is suffering some sort of paranoia-induced anxiety attack, but his semi-shouted vocals still carry a surprising amount of melody, which is welcome considering how many bands in this style try to get by on shouting alone; that said, his vocals are still unusual and may be an acquired taste. Century Media. 2002.
Yakuza: Eric Plonka (throat singing, guitar); James Staffel (drums, tempel bed, udu); Erick Clark (bass, background vocals); Bruce Lamont (vocals, soprano & tenor saxophones). Driven by experimentation, Yakuza combines a variety of styles ranging from psychedelic indie rock to metal, free jazz and hardcore.
