Kylesa - Kylesa


Kylesa, taken from the name Kilesa Mara (Buddhist term denoting delusory mental states), formed in 2002 in Savannah, Georgia.  The approach of this band is what separates them from the rest in the doom/sludge scene.  Never settling for one particular genre, Kylesa does a great job of mixing psychedelia with heavy down tuned guitar, keeping the music open and limitless.  On top of this, Kylesa carries out its vocal attack with three singers, but primarily with guitar players Laura Pleasants and Philip Cope, who also carries out the bands studio production duties (as well as for Baroness, Blacktusk, etc,).  This is the Savannah natives debut record, with cover artwork from the infamous Pushead. Since this recording they having recruited a second drummer which adds for a more of a tribal feel. Kylesa's self titled effort is a must have!
