Crib Notes

Static Tensions, the new album from Savannah metal staple Kylesa, now has a face. This week the group unveiled the album’s cover art — created by Baroness’ John Dyer Baizley and produced by the band’s guitarist/vocalist Phillip Cope (Baroness, Withered).

The album is scheduled for a March 17 release via Prosthetic Records. In the meantime you can hear the song “Said and Done” from the new album at Kylesa’s Myspace page.

“’Said and Done’ was the first song we wrote for Static Tensions and has a little bit of everything that can be heard on the album,” explains guitarist/vocalist Laura Pleasants in a press release. “We think it is a good introduction.”

Kylesa plays the SCION Rock fest at the Masquerade on Sat. Feb. 28th and again at the Masquerade on Fri., April 24th with the Haunted, Nachtmystium.
