How many dual drummer sludge metal bands from Savannah, Georgia are you aware of? I can only think of one. Kylesa. These southern gentlemen (and lady) are incredible. The new song “Tired Climb” is no exception. Swirling guitars set against a backdrop of psychedelic ambience with enough bottom end to blow out your older brothers subwoofers is an ample way of describing the new track. The latest album “Spiral Shadow” will be out on October 26th via Season of Mist.
Click here to check out the song.
The band will also be embarking on a righteous tour with High on Fire and Torche.

Cancer Bats have unleashed their furious new video for the song “Scared to Death.” The song is off their latest album “Bears, Mayors, Scraps & Bones.” The video reminds me of my family reunions: dark, in a forest, and full of creepy people with potato sacks over their heads.
Don’t be trapped in a cold desolate place without the proper attire. Righteous merch from a righteous band can be purchased Here.

Vocalists Elliot Desgagné had this to say about “Maree Noir:”
“It’s going to be two years since our last album and we had the idea of a short release while we keep writing for the next full length. We picked five songs to go on the EP and I feel like these are by far the best songs we’ve ever written. Nothing that different from our other releases but we’re always getting a little closer to the sound we want. So we’re all satisfied with the result and are looking forward to share it.”

Clutch have announced the track listing for the expanded-dual disc edition re-issue of “Robot Hive/Exodus” which will be released worldwide on September 28th through Weathermaker Music. Currently out of print, “Robot Hive/Exodus” was at one point the band’s largest selling title of the decade due to the strength of its three extremely powerful yet diverse singles, “Burning Beard,” “10001110101″ and “Mice & Gods.” In addition to upgraded artwork and new “digi” packaging, this expanded edition will feature a bonus DVD which includes a classic 33 minute outdoor performance recorded on location at the Sounds of the Underground festival in July of 2005 in Sayreville, NJ. Also included is the Jeremy Hunt directed “Burning Beard” video clip, which was the first ever Clutch single to reach the “year end” Top 10 most played on MTV’s Headbanger’s Ball.
In total, the “Robot Hive/Exodus” re-issue contains 23 songs and over 90 minutes of music. This is the second of three planned extended double disc re-issues, as Weathermaker has already released “From Beale Street to Oblivion” in July, and plans to issue forth the “Blast Tyrant” package in November. For the uber Clutch fan and/or retro rocker, Weathermaker will see to it that all three releases will make their way onto limited edition vinyl.
On September 22nd, Clutch will embark on a nine week tour with Black Label Society and Children of Bodom. In addition to 40+ dates with Zakk Wylde’s widely popular hard rock act, the veteran rock band from Maryland have just announced six headline concerts that will be placed within the Fall tour, giving their North American fanbase close to 50 opportunities to see the band perform a combination of classic Clutch material as well as current fan favorites like “50,000 Unstoppable Watts,” “Let a Poor Man Be” and “Abraham Lincoln” from the band’s latest, Top 40 soundscan charting, “Strange Cousins From the West” full-length album.
