fuckin’ metal

It seemed like a joke to me – sludge, death, epic, space, post, nu (heh), black, doom, power, stoner, prog, thrash, heavy – it evaded me every time I approached it. Christ, I even like Lightning Bolt. Maybe I wasn’t ready. Maybe I’m still not. But I do know that I just listened to Kylesa for the first time, and I think – yes, there is a tear slowly swelling up in the corner of my right eye – that I might have found a door inside.
They’re playing Friday at Criminal. I do believe I might pay them a visit.
