Originating from Perth, Kimura are a straight up, unapologetic heavy metal band, with an unrelenting determination to engage a collision of punishing groove and melodic soaked riffs whilst violently venting their vexations. Kimura’s 4th release, ‘Circle The Prey‘, is set to be their darkest, heaviest and most personal album to date, incorporating real life stories and the raw, turbulent nature of the world we live in both internally and externally.
The first single and video released, ‘Sharpen The Bones‘, reflects on justice, retribution and due punishment. An account of a young girl who was wrong done by from a trusted source, causing a life sentence of nightmares, fear, trauma and distrust. For the perpetrator it highlights the end of hiding, facing the consequences of actions, accountability and disposal thereof to never hurt again.
With ‘Circle The Prey’ Kimura have successfully fused and solidified their common heavy influences and shows the quartet at their most intense, insightful, and adventurous. It’s a chaotic balance between harmony and dissonance, melody and aggression and is the most ferocious and infectious release the band have ever made. Consequential impact is imminent.
‘CIRCLE THEY PREY’ will be released independently on October 21st. Pre-save the digital here and the CD here.
Kimura will also launch the album at Lynott’s Lounge in Perth on Saturday October 23rd with support from All This Filth, The Harvest Trail and Kalvath. Event page here.
