Kylesa, Saviours, and Red Fang at Triple Rock Social Club
Kylesa is often lumped into the catchall category of “metal,” then immediately chased by qualifiers like “avant-garde” to differentiate it from run-of-the-mill thrashers (though there are certainly hints of that in its sonic churn). Most often, however, Kylesa is pegged as “stoner metal” for its drop-tuned, Sabbath-derived sludge and hints of psychedelic wanderlust—but this is actually dismissive, too, when considering the new Static Tensions, which is focused, unrepentantly melodic, and steeped in Neurosis-esque atmosphere. Tourmates Saviours cram black-tarred gobs of Venom and St. Vitus into a frenzied, buzzing, welt-raising assault with zero irony, as heard on last year’s sophomore effort for Kemado, Into Abaddon.
