Japanese metal powerhouse KNOSIS, the boundary-pushing project led by acclaimed multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Ryo Kinoshita, returns with a brand-new standalone single ‘Kushizashi‘ arriving via SharpTone Records.
Serving as the band’s first new music since the release of their debut album GENKNOSIS in 2025, ‘Kushizashi‘ is a fierce declaration of intent. Fusing razor-sharp riffs, crushing grooves, and Ryo Kinoshita‘s unmistakable blend of punishing screams and soaring melodies, the track finds KNOSIS at their most focused, relentless, and uncompromising.
Speaking on the new single, Ryo Kinoshita says:
“This is my declaration.
I AM THAT I AM.”
Fresh from introducing their crushing live show to European audiences on tour with Paledusk, KNOSIS continues to build momentum with ‘Kushizashi’ a bold new standalone statement that proves the band’s relentless evolution shows no signs of slowing down.
