Kylesa to release Spiral Shadow on Season of Mist

Just a year and a half after Static Tensions, psych-sludge quintet Kylesa will release Spiral Shadow, its fifth full-length album, on October 26 via Season of Mist. With the album, Kylesa’s cross-genre sound jumps from Prosthetic Records, which put out its last three discs.

The new album was produced again by Kylesa’s guitarist/vocalist Phillip Cope, who has manned the boards for Baroness and Withered.

The Savannah-based band is presently on a European tour with Converge but has set up a massive North American tour. Starting on September 29, the coed quintet will tour with High On Fire and Torche until November 7. Kylesa is also planning several festival performances, such as the Hopscotch Music Festival in Raleigh and the Soundwave Festival in Australia next year.
