Kimura

Kimura are a Modern Groove Metal band based in Perth, Western Australia.

Sounding like the love child spawned from an orgy between The Haunted, Devildriver & the timeless Pantera, Kimura are known for putting on brutal and dynamic live shows, comprising of charismatic Front-man Josh Kelly, the dashing Ian McAllister on guitar, wild eyed bass player Stu Betts & groove infused Drummer Gordo Steinberger.

During 2013 - 2015 Kimura recorded & released their debut demo EP, Uncaged and gigged throughout Perth & Regional WA.

Pre-production of the band’s 2nd EP, Kintsukuroi also commenced in 2015 at Six Squared Studios.

Kintsukuroi was launched in May 2016 to an enthusiastic crowd at the Amplifier Bar in Perth City, has picked up radio play locally & internationally, charted at number 25 for the Top 30 Australian Metal Releases on Nuclear Rock Radio and the track "Book Of The Dead" was nominated in the WAM Song Of The Year awards 2016/2017 Heavy/Metal category.

Excerpt from Avenoir Magazine Kinsukuroi EP Launch Review - May 18, 2016 – Author - Chris Gardner.

“The group’s shared musical ability is impressive, their playing as tight as it is brutal, Kimura have delivered their EP in sensational style and set the pace to all to follow.”
