Knosis

Knosis is the experimental metalcore project led by Ryo Kinoshita, the former vocalist of the Japanese band Crystal Lake. Launched in 2022, Knosis blends metal, hardcore, and a range of other genres like industrial, hip hop, black metal, and death metal into a powerful, emotion-driven sound. The project is more than just a band—Ryo describes it as a "concept of art of my life," reflecting his personal struggles and growth through intense riffing, visceral vocals, and innovative production.

Their debut full-length album, *GENKNOSIS*, released in August 2025 via SharpTone Records, marks a milestone for the project, featuring remixed and remastered versions of their earlier work along with new tracks like “Tanebi” and “Shinmon.” The album title evokes a new "generation" and is inspired by the biblical Genesis as a first chapter for Knosis’s journey. Known for emotionally charged lyrics and raw energy, Knosis has also toured internationally, including Australia, bringing their dynamic metalcore sound to diverse audiences.
