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 (βEnd Truthβ) as well as the bandβs legendary cover of Pink Floydβs βSet the Controls for the Heart of the Sunβ on Nov. 20 (Nov. 16 in Europe).
Here’s the rest of the official announcement issued on August 28th:
βThis project has been a labor of love,β explained guitarist/singer/producer Phillip Cope. βWe 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 didnβt 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 Kylesaβs different styles from early on to present day.β
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. Kylesaβs most recent release, 2010β²s Spiral Shadow, was revered by fans and critics alike as a βrecord that trashes everything you might expect from the genreβ (Pitchfork) and is βas sweaty as a south Georgia summerβ (Spin). Singer/guitarist Laura Pleasants was recently featured on the cover of Decibel Magazineβs inaugural Women in Metal issue.
