KYLESA is set to release From The Vaults, Vol. 1, a twelve-song collection featuring unreleased, new and alternate versions of songs spanning their catalogue including one entirely new song (โEnd Truthโ) as well as the bandโs legendary cover of Pink Floydโs โSet the Controls for the Heart of the Sunโ on Nov. 20 (Nov. 16 in Europe).
Here’s the rest of the official announcement issued on August 28th:
โThis project has been a labor of love,โ explained guitarist/singer/producer Phillip Cope. โWe have spent over a year going through old songs, covers, etc. and collected those we felt went well together; remixing and finishing them up. We didnโt want to release something just thrown together so we put a lot of thought and time into it. I am really happy about how this came together. I think it is a good representation of Kylesaโs different styles from early on to present day.โ
The Savannah-based band recently wrapped up a European tour, which included stops at the Wacken Open Air and Area 4 Festivals, and will enter the studio to begin work on a new album for 2013. Kylesaโs most recent release, 2010โฒs Spiral Shadow, was revered by fans and critics alike as a โrecord that trashes everything you might expect from the genreโ (Pitchfork) and is โas sweaty as a south Georgia summerโ (Spin). Singer/guitarist Laura Pleasants was recently featured on the cover of Decibel Magazineโs inaugural Women in Metal issue.
