About Me |
|
| Byla consists of Kevin Hufnagel, of Relapse Records’ instrumentalists Dysrhythmia, and Colin Marston, of Dysrhythmia, Black Market/Metal Blade recording artists Behold... the Arctopus and Crucial Blast Records experimental duo Infidel?/Castro!. Though their respective bands are more known for technical and abrasive music, Byla focuses on creating dream-like, rich atmospherics. Using guitar as it’s primary sound source, Byla takes the listener from epic sound walls to late night, half-asleep drones. In 2005 they released their first self-titled CD on Translation Loss Records, a mainly quiet and tranquil experience. Released in the Fall of ’07 was the album ’Viscera’, a collaboration of sonic massiveness and density between Byla and vocalist Jarboe [formerly of Swans, and acclaimed solo artist]. This album still retains the ambient aesthetic but with a much more intense atmosphere.
