Synopsis

Album Description
2009 release. Savannah, Georgia's Kylesa returns with their fourth full-length album, their second as a five-piece with two drummers after 2006's monumental breakthrough Time Will Fuse Its Worth. Three years later, the band fully utilizes the many percussive possibilities that such a lineup provides, immediately apparent on the blistering opening track, 'Scapegoat'.

CD Reviews

They've done it again!
Fernando Benítez V | Mexico City, Mexico | 03/20/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album features everything you need if you're into timeless heavy rock: riffs galore, southern comfort, reefer madness, tribal ecstasy, spaced-out musings,avant-garde tempos and proggy ideas, classic metal, stoner, thrashy metal, a crust-punk edge, a post-punk feeling...plus, the growls/cookiemunster vocals are gone for good, which in my book is a sign of hard-earned maturity.

It sits comfortably in 2009, and will probably top my annual list, but it could've blown me away back in '87, too...

beautiful, to say the least.

After listening to it a few times, I had to go back in time and play some early Steve Hillage, some Can and some Hawkwind (plus Mammatus, my other contemporary faves!): nothing else was up to standard.

Well done, extremely well done!"
Album of the year?

"I enjoy everything this band has done, but this has taken their sound to new heights. This album has it all. It's heavy, but musical; psychedelic, yet organic and primal. The great music is also complemented by great metal vocals. Laura Pleasants and Phil Cope show great musical maturity with their vocal performances on this album. They know how and when to use certain vocal styles and never take away from the music.



The lyrics are very well done and abstract enough to leave the meanings of the songs up to ones own interpretation.



Basically, I could go on and on about this album. This needs to be heard by fans of heavy music or any kind of music in general."
