Kylesa - Static Tensions

Review by Саша Павлова

Static Tensions by Kylesa is an impressive album that showcases the band's unique blend of sludge metal and psychedelic rock. The album features nine tracks that are all heavy, intense, and packed with raw energy.

The opening track, "Scapegoat," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its driving riffs and thundering drums. The vocals are aggressive yet melodic, and the guitar work is intricate and impressive. The album continues with tracks like "Insomnia for Months" and "Tired Climb," which showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend heavy riffs with trippy, psychedelic elements.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Unknown Awareness," which features a hauntingly beautiful melody and some of the most impressive guitar work on the album. The track builds to a crescendo of heavy riffs and pounding drums, making it a highlight of the album.

every band sells out.
you know musicians make music for a living. If you think that is wrong you should throw away all your cd's and make your own music and never let it be heared by anyone.
