Kyuss: Welcome to Sky Valley (1994) (Metal,Rock)

The high-intensity hellish energy of their previous albums becomes much more condensed. Though not as experimental as Blues For The Red Sun, Welcome to Sky Valley refines the stoner metal genre through more intricate and filling, lengthy compositions. The guitars and drums remain monstrous crushing and intense, but this time there is a bit more composure, they sound sharper, but at the same time the production feels open like you are listening to a band play in the stary nights of California. A real gem in the genre and should be listened to even if you are not a fan of the genre.







Heavy Psych/Stoner Metal/Stoner Rock

Kyuss: Blues For The Red Sun (1992) (Metal,Rock)

Some songs sound like fiery mosh pits (Green Machine, Writhe), others like psychedelic trips that slowly warp into nightmares (50 Millions Year Trip, Apothecaries' Weight), some more serious and foreboding, others more comedic and rebellious punk. Kyuss's energy is destructive, occasionally spacey, and often unbridled, with a versatile sound but raw sound, managing to craft one of the most influential albums in the stoner rock/metal catalogue.
