Bionic Robocop Left Hand: Enhanced Accordion meets Gregorian Jazz Metal

Sometimes, musical innovation is simply born out of a desire to listen to a specific mash-up of styles that you’ve never heard mixed together - or at least not in the way you’re imagining it. French band Ckraft, led by accordionist Charles Kieny did exactly that. Their debut album “Epic Discordant Vision” is out on June 3rd.
