Staying deeply rooted in a genre all its own, Chicago-based Yakuza's existence lies on a metal base with progressive flair, while somehow also incorporating elements of jazz, world beat and post-rock ambiance. Vinyl edition features an exclusive remix track by Justin K. Broadrick of Jesu and Godflesh fame. Transmutations was recorded and produced by Sanford Parker (Rwake, Pelican, Minsk).
