Kylesa

At least temporarily, these groups had multiple people behind the kit at the same time!

Georgian sludge masters Kylesa have gone on indefinite hiatus.

Savannah, Ga., heavy rockers Kylesa will release a new album, Exhausting Fire, on Oct. 2.

Kylesa, Crowbar, Eyehategod and more will take part in the 2015 Psycho California Festival in Santa Ana, Calif.

Hailing from the sludge metal mecca of Savannah, Georgia, Kylesa vocalist / guitarist Laura Pleasants is both demonic and angelic while melting venues with sound.

Kylesa rocked out with New York fans over the weekend in Brooklyn at the Music Hall of Williamsburg with stellar support from Blood Ceremony, White Hills, Lazer-Wulf and Bambara.

For a good chunk of time now, America's most innovative and entrancing metal has wafted up from the South, as the great state of Georgia has birthed the likes of Mastodon, Baroness and Black Tusk. Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with those acts are the fully baked sludge merchants of Kylesa, who've just unleashed their latest must-hear album, 'Ultraviolet.'

Let the sludge creep into your ears with Kylesa's hypnotic 2013 track 'Unspoken.' So much quality metal has been recently birthed in America's South, and 'Unspoken' is just one of many Southern jewels found within Kylesa's newest album, 'Ultraviolet.'

Who's ready for some sweet Georgian sludge? Kylesa have been making gooey waves for well over a decade, and now the band is soon to release their sixth studio album, 'Ultraviolet.' Audiences will have to wait until May 28 to hear 'Ultraviolet' in full, but we've got the exclusive premiere of the new track 'Vulture's Landing' to help ease you through the waiting process.

Fully baked sludge merchants Kylesa have announced plans for a 2013 summer trek. Kylesa's 'Ultraviolet 2013 Summer Tour' will invade North America for a period of six weeks, taking the bands Blood Ceremony, White Hills and Lazer/Wulf along for the ride.
