Biography

Kylesa's story is inseparable from that of Damad , a noise combo of Savannah (Georgia) in which Victoria (Chant), Phillip Cope (Guitare / Chant), Brian Duke (Basse), and Christian Depken (Batterie) operate. After eight years of common life, the group split into two, Victoria going to join Karst, while the remaining three members team up to form Kylesa, a fourth larron, Laura Pleasants (Chant), completes the line-up. It was then that they were recording their first demo in 2001 that Brian Duke died of a seizure. Kylesa still decides to finish the sessions of what will prove to be her first album. Duke was then replaced by Michael Redmond who later left his place at Corey Barhorst ( Bass / Chant / Claviers). Despite an important turn over of its members - Phillip and Laura are the only survivors of the original band - Kylesa manages to record a fairly large number of splits and ep, including the famous No Ending, but has to wait four years to finally release his second album, To Walk A Middle Course, at Prosthetic Records. In 2006, Kylesa wanted to cross a stage in the intensity of his music, and in 2006 he recruited two drummers, Jeff Porter and Carl McGinley, instead of Brandon Baltzley, whose effects were immediately felt on Time Will Fuse Its Worth , the band's third production. In the years that followed, the band kept spinning. In 2008, Kylesa sailed for the old continent with Torche and Baroness, lost Jeff Porter by the way, and recruited Eric Hernandez for the recording of Static Tension. A year later, Spiral Shadow arrived, their most accessible album that appeared at Season Of Mist, while in 2013 Kylesa experimented with new things with Ultraviolet.
