About Kylesa

Kylesa, formed in 2001 in Savannah, Georgia, stands out as a pioneering force in the heavy music scene, known for their innovative blend of sludge metal, hardcore punk, psychedelic stoner rock, and technical speed metal. Founded by guitarist-vocalist Phillip Cope and bassist Brian Duke, both formerly of grindcore band Damad, the group quickly distinguished themselves with a unique triple-vocalist lineup, which also included guitarist-singer Laura Pleasants. The band’s name draws from the Buddhist concept of “kilesa mara,” symbolizing demons of defilement and delusion, reflecting the darker thematic currents woven through their music.

Tragedy struck early when Duke tragically passed away from an epileptic seizure during the recording of their self-titled debut album, released in 2002. Corey Barhorst stepped in to complete the lineup, helping to solidify Kylesa’s raw yet evolving sound. Following this, the band signed with Prosthetic Records and released several critically acclaimed albums, including "To Walk a Middle Course" (2005), "Time Will Fuse Its Worth" (2006), and "Static Tensions" (2009). Their sound matured and incorporated more psychedelic influences, reaching a peak with "Spiral Shadow" (2010) on Season of Mist.

Embracing dual drummers Jeff Porter and Carl McGinley, Kylesa expanded their sonic palette further on the more melodic "Ultraviolet" (2013). Their 2015 release, "Exhausting Fire," produced by Cope, distilled their genre-defying explorations into a coherent, dynamic statement. Through relentless touring and constant evolution, Kylesa has cemented their reputation as innovators within sludge and stoner metal, blending heavy riffs with diverse vocal textures to create a sound that remains fresh and influential.
