Biography

Savannah, Georgia, United States (2001 – present)

Since this Savannah, Georgia, United States quintet first formed in early 2001, worrying about genre limitations has never been a priority. Taking musical chances, however, always has been. While Kylesa are as heavy as any band out there, they are beholden to no one scene and no preconceived notions of what heavy music should be.

“Lots of people like to stick to one kind of music,” guitarist/vocalist Phillip Cope elaborates, “and even with the underground, lots of people segregate themselves into small little categories and place lots of imaginary rules on these scenes.”

“We just like playing heavy music and we’ve always liked playing it regardless of what is popular or trendy,” guitarist/vocalist Laura Pleasants adds. “It’s most rewarding for us to try and push our own boundaries of what we can to do with our music and hopefully, in the end, offer something that is at least original.”

Kylesa’s third full-length, Time Will Fuse Its Worth, is the eagerly-awaited follow-up to 2005’s To Walk A Middle Course, which topped many year end lists and landed the band in metal and mainstream press alike. After grabbing ink in Spin, the New York Times, and metal mainstays Revolver alike, Time Will Fuse Its Worth again showcases the band as the ultimate definition of do-it-yourself dedication. With Cope lending his ears and hands for production duties at The Jam Room, and featuring comprehensive artistic layout and packaging from Pleasants, the Kylesa of current day continues to put the band’s future in their own hands by relentlessly touring Europe and North America alike.

    One day they met at the rehearsal room and had this conversation: "Remember all those awesome albums we've made so far?" - "Yeah, dude. But, y'know, it gets boring. Why don't we just record a bunch of somewhat psychedelic and fairly unoriginal pop rock songs?" - "Sounds like a plan."

    New album gets better with every listen. I already like it better than Spiral Shadow.

    i think thye've just done what Baroness. Baroness had red and blue so people expected Purple but instead they got yellow and green. This record sounds different from all the other Kylesa records I like that though.. It;s great music and there's some proper grooves on it If you want Sludge by numbers this isn't the record for you but come at it with an open mind and it fucking rules.

    New album is mediocre, with Steady Breadown being the only highlight. First five songs just don't fit the album, but as soon as What Does It Take kicks in, it starts to feel like a listenable Kylesa album. I was definitely expecting more.

    I really don't get why people get so much enjoyment out of debating whether band x is genre XYZ+5π/4R

    It's Sludgecore/Doom metal or something like that. Smoke weed and enjoy the new album.

    OrcSlayer74, it was irony. Its not sludge, stoner or crust, I know. Some kind of cheap alt metal.
