Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson), David Kollar (Slovakia), and Paolo Raineri (Italy).

The music?
Dark. Brutal. Cinematic. Beautiful.

Critics called it:

“A beautiful, impenetrable Cthulhu.” — Echoes and Dust

“They've created a monster.” — Manchester Rocks

“Living proof that music isn’t dead.” — Brushvox

“Daring, heavy, and frequently brutal.” — PROG

With sounds engineered by Adrian Benavides, the record was hailed as a top 3 album of the year by multiple outlets.

Now in 2025, KOMARA returns.
Trey Gunn joins the lineup.
The monster is back — louder and deeper than ever.

About  KOMARA II

The genre-defying trio KOMARA returns with KOMARA II, a powerful new release that pushes sonic boundaries and challenges musical convention. Featuring King Crimson drummer Pat Mastelotto, avant-garde guitarist David Kollar, and visionary trumpeter Paolo Raineri, the album blends ambient textures, industrial grit, and jazz-infused improvisation into a haunting, cinematic experience.

Special guests include Arve Henriksen, Deborah Carter Mastelotto, and sound designer Bill Munyon, adding further depth to the album’s rich, experimental palette. As with their first album, this release is visually anchored by a striking cover design from Tool guitarist and visual artist Adam Jones.

The band will perform several shows in Europe this summer, joined live by Pat’s former King Crimson bandmate Trey Gunn.

KOMARA II is available as a 4-panel CD wallet.
Release date: June 27, 2025
