ABOUT

        KNARD is a visionary music artist pushing the boundaries of sonic exploration. Drawing inspiration from electronic music and metal, their music defies conventional expectations. From video games as much as activism, their music in recent has turned from generic electronic music into something artistically bordering controversial and cathartic subjects.
