Mystery Grab Bag $5.99

Kylesa is back with their eagerly anticipated fifth studio album “Spiral Shadow.”

“The stellar return of the world’s heaviest indie rock band! Already touted as the album of the year by metal and indie rock press alike, “Spiral Shadow” delivers a mosaic of amazing audio atmospheres. While remaining melodic and musical, huge, heavy, hypnotic waves wash over the listener. Shadows of the best elements of their influences, such as Fugazi, The Pixies, Sonic Youth, and Neurosis all materialize. The body of the music however is undisputable and wholly KYLESA. “Spiral Shadow” may be hard to categorize but nearly impossible not to enjoy!”

Pre-orders have begun for this triumph of an album. The package includes the “Spiral Shadow” CD and DVD with T-shirt. The limited edition CD digi pack comes with a 3D cover! All pre-orders ship on or before October 26th.

“From the planet Acheron comes a presentation of interstellar proportions. Take an in depth look at the behind the scenes process of The Sword’s “Warp Riders” pre order package. From the intricate detail of the faux iron on print effect on the raglan tee to the glossy 24×36 poster, The Sword put together the highest quality Autographed Vinyl product bundle.”

The first 500 packages were signed by the band but sold out very quickly. Don’t fear! There are still bundles available.
