Kylesa Preps for Fall Headlining Tour

Here's a riddle for you. What's heavier: a pound of feathers or a pound of the Savannah metal outfit Kylesa? Answer: Kylesa is heavier than everything...always.

Kylesa, the sludgiest of the sludgy below the Mason-Dixon line, will be hitting the road this fall for its own headlining tour. Beginning in the South, the band will take the slow route to California, doubling back to give the Midwest a bit of lovin' at the end. (It's tempting to compare the destruction that will lie in the band's wake to Sherman's March to the Sea, but the dudes [and gal] are from Savannah, and that's still a sore subject down there.) The band has discussed performing its latest album, Static Tensions, in its entirety, but you'll have to hit up the shows to determine whether or not that's just idle message-board chatter. Kylesa will be joined by other metal outfits along the way, including Brooklyn's Tomb and Vancouver's Bison B.C.
