Kuunatic

Kuunatic is a Tokyo-based experimental trio blending psychedelic rock, global folk, and ritualistic sounds into a trippy multicultural brew. Formed by members from Japan, Hungary, and the UK, their music swirls with hypnotic percussion, distorted guitars, and multilingual chants that feel like a shamanic journey through imaginary landscapes. Since emerging in the late 2010s, they've carved a niche with releases like *Gate of Klüna* (2021) and *Kuurandia* (2023), which mix J-rock intensity with elements of Tuareg desert blues, Southeast Asian rhythms, and surreal storytelling. Known for their otherworldly live shows involving masks and primal energy, they've toured with Bo Ningen and played festivals like Roadburn, cementing their rep as purveyors of "global groove chaos." Their track titles – from *Yellow Serpent* to *Disembodied Ternion* – read like entries in a cryptic grimoire, perfectly matching their border-crashing sound.
