April 18, 2013, Philadelphia – Southern hard rock quintet Kylesa have scheduled a Reddit live chat session/AMA this Saturday, April 20, at 1:00 PM EST (4 PM PST). The band will respond to fans directly, via an “Ask Me Anything” thread.

One of the most popular Reddits is IAmA (“I am a”) where a user may post “AMAs” (for “Ask Me Anything”), or similarly “AMAAs” ( for “Ask Me Almost Anything”) – prompts for others to ask questions on any topic. AMAs are open to all Reddit users, and use the site’s comment system for both questions and answers. A number of notable individuals have participated in the IAmA Reddit.

Reddit’s “Ask Me Anything” (AMAs) are one of the most popular features on the heavily trafficked site. Past AMA’s have included sessions with President Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and Deadmau5 among others.

Recently, Kylesa announced a new summer tour. The “Ultraviolet Summer 2013 Tour” will kick off on May 10 in Gainesville, Fla. and end on June 22 in Savannah, Ga. The tour will see support from Blood Ceremony, White Hills and Lazer/Wulf. A full list of tour dates can be found below.

Kylesa previously released a new song, called “Vultures Landinghere.  Kylesa also premiered the tracks “Quicksandhere, and “Unspokenhere. Ultraviolet pre-orders are available now via the Season of Mist’s E-Shop.

One of the most anticipated hard rock releases of 2013, and the follow-up to their critically acclaimed album Spiral Shadow, Kylesa is set to release Ultraviolet on May 28. The Savannah-based quintet recorded Ultraviolet at The Jam Room in Columbia, S.C. with the band’s guitar player/songwriter, and sought-after producer, Phillip Cope (Baroness, Black Tusk) once again overseeing production.

Kylesa - Summer Tour - 2013 - promo flyer

Mar. 28, 2013, Philadelphia – Kylesa kick off their first North American tour in support of Ultraviolet (May 28, Season of Mist) on May 10 in Gainesville, Fla. at the High Dive.

“It’s been a while since we’ve done a headlining tour in the US or Canada,” explained singer/guitar player Laura Pleasants, referring to the near two-year gap since the Savannah band’s last run.  “We are looking forward to doing a proper tour supporting Ultraviolet.  It will be good to see friends and fans (old and new) and hit these once familiar landscapes again. “

Spin premiered “Quicksand,” a new song from the 11-track album, earlier this week (http://www.spin.com/articles/kylesa-quicksand-ultraviolet-stream) describing the song “joins the melodies of ‘90s shoegaze with the churn of modern sludge.”

Ultraviolet pre-orders are available now via Season of Mist’s e-shop (http://e-shop.season-of-mist.com/en/predefined-search/37879).

Mar. 25, 2013, Philadelphia – Kylesa premiere Quicksand, a new song from their forthcoming album Ultraviolet (May 28, Season of Mist), via Spin (http://www.spin.com/articles/kylesa-quicksand-ultraviolet-stream).

Quicksand is a quick 2:35 of ghostly dreamdoom that joins the melodies of ’90s shoegaze with the churn of modern sludge and a riff straight from the Billy Corgan playbook,” says Spin in a brief write-up accompanying the song stream, adding that the song is “a muscular swirl that should please anyone who thought m b v didn’t have enough shouting.”

The band has also unveiled the cover art for Ultraviolet, which was done by Sean Beaudry. Beaudry, a fellow Savannah resident, did the artwork for the band’s Time Will Fuse Its Worth reissue. Pre-order bundles for the new album are available now via (http://e-shop.season-of-mist.com/en/predefined-search/37879).

Kylesa will play a free, all ages show in their hometown of Savannah at The Dollhouse on Apr. 19 as a way to thank fans for their ongoing support.

Pitchfork, in the band’s first interview regarding Ultraviolet (http://pitchfork.com/features/show-no-mercy/9084-kylesa/), said of the album: “It’s the… heavy rock band’s darkest, most atmospheric record to date.  The collection, which features an array of subtle electronic elements, makes for an expressive, immersive listen that will likely find the double-drumming quintet a larger audience.”

Unspoken,” also from Ultraviolet, was released online in late February, leading Stereogum to say “… if the album’s first single is any indication, they’ve continued moving away from their peers as well as their own past, conquering new territory,” adding “it’s a total triumph.”  The song can be streamed here:  https://soundcloud.com/season-of-mist/kylesa-unspoken.

KYLESA – RELEASE “ULTRAVIOLET” ON MAY 28th, VIA SEASON OF MIST

“UNSPOKEN” MP3 AVAILABLE NOW

Feb. 26, 2013, Philadelphia – Kylesa is set to release Ultraviolet, one of the most anticipated Hard Rock releases of the year and the follow-up to their critically acclaimed album Spiral Shadow, on May 28 via Season of Mist (May 24 in Europe).

“Whereas Spiral Shadow was a warm album suggesting concepts of hope, Ultraviolet is a bit colder and darker,” explains songwriter/guitar player Laura Pleasants. “All of our studio albums have their own unique identity and we’ve always been a band who strives for something different than what current fads suggest. With Ultraviolet, we took a step inward and wrote music that we felt we had to write; this album centers around the multiple themes of loss and you can feel it in the music. Everyone goes through it during their lifetime and this record reflects that experience.”

Unspoken, a new song from the eleven-track album is available now for Season of Mist newsletter subscribers (www.season-of-mist.com/news/kylesa-2013-02-26).

The Savannah-based quintet recorded Ultraviolet at The Jam Room in Columbia, SC with the band’s guitar player/songwriter, and sought-after producer, Phillip Cope (Baroness, Black Tusk) once again overseeing production.

Kylesa released a rarities collection in November titled From The Vaults, Vol. 1, which featured unreleased, new and alternate versions of songs spanning the band’s catalogue as well as one new song titled End Truth. Cope and Pleasants spent over a year going through their archives preparing the release.

The band’s most recent studio album, Spiral Shadow, had the highest Metal/Hard Rock entry on the Village Voice’s 2010 Pazz & Jop album poll, led Pitchfork to say “Kylesa would be a household name” following the release and landed the band on the cover of Terrorizer as well as album of the month accolades from Metal Hammer, Rock Sound and Visions Magazines. In 2011, Kylesa became the first Metal band to perform on Last Call with Carson Daly.

Kylesa will return to the road in May with more details forthcoming.
