Kylesa Sign to Season of Mist; Set to Record New Album This Summer
I’ve never experienced one myself, but I’d imagine summer in Savannah, Georgia, is about as hot as you get without actually lighting your face on fire. Nonetheless, Kylesa have bravely chosen to record their album starting in May and finishing in July — right about kerosene time, for anyone paying attention one sentence to the next. Good thing they’re headed north to do it… all the way to South Carolina. Much better.
Straight from the “Didn’t See This Coming” Dept. is the news that Kylesa has signed to Season of Mist, who seem to be making a play at the metal bigtime. Good for them, good for them too, and good for us all because we’ll get a new Kylesa record hopefully before the end of the year. If you missed out on last year’s Static Tensions, it did quite rule.
Says the wire of PR:
Kylesa, whose 2009 album Static Tensions was one of the most critically acclaimed metal albums of last year, has signed with Season of Mist with work already underway on the follow-up.
“We’re very happy to announce our new partnership with Season of Mist for the next Kylesa release, which we are hoping to get out later this year,” said the band. “We are stoked to be working with SOM on this next album. They are a forward-thinking label and they have all been very accommodating and a pleasure to work with.”
Regarding the new album, Kylesa adds, “The writing process for the new record has been intense, taking up the better part of each day since January (that’s why you haven’t heard from us lately), but in return we have some new material that we’re very proud of. The studio sessions at The Jam Room in Columbia start in May and end in early July; we’ll try to have a few reports for you along the way.”
The band is currently touring Europe until early May and will perform at the Roadburn festival in Tilburg, The Netherlands on Apr. 15. Check out the band’s MySpace page for more information on tour dates.
