Notable_instruments =UNE (畝) is the musical project of
Akira Inada . The music is best described as "transcendental metal", with an atmospheric, all-encompassing sound, reminiscent ofSigur Rós , while also being (as it has often been put) "heavier than the devil". However, it is very difficult to describe: asJonah Matranga wrote, it is "beauty beyond words".While Inada sings some of songs in English or Japanese, most of the songs are sung in no language, and instead simply use the syllables that work the best musically. Up until "Færiyes", all his music was recorded at home, and the albums were primarily self-distributed for free, though the EP "A Cactus Towards the Circle Ring" was released in 2003 by the UK label
Nova Bomb Records .Shortly after the release of
2005 's "Færiyes", the formation of the full band was announced onJanuary 24 ,2006 . The announced line-up in addition to Akira Inada on vocals andguitar is Haruhiko Mera onguitar , Hiroyuki Takahashi onbass guitar , and Daisuke Anraku on drums. They plan to begin performing this June.Discography
