Kyuss - Blues For The Red Sun (1992) FLAC
Track Listing
Kyuss (pronounced /ˈkaɪ.əs/ KYE-əs) is an influential American stoner rock/metal band, originally from Palm Desert, California. After forming in the late 1980s and releasing an EP under the name Sons of Kyuss in 1990, the band shortened its name to Kyuss. Over the next five years the band released four full-length albums, and one last EP compilation in 1997 entitled "Queens of the Stone Age". This nicely tied up the loose ends of Kyuss and introduced the sound of the popular band Queens of the Stone Age, which several Kyuss members later joined.
The band's only continuous members were vocalist John Garcia and guitarist Josh Homme, but also featured Brant Bjork, Nick Oliveri, Scott Reeder, Alfredo Hernandez, and Chris Cockrell. Kyuss split up in 1995, and since then, members of Kyuss have gone on to form or play in several notable bands including Queens of the Stone Age, Fu Manchu, Dwarves, Brant Bjork, Eagles of Death Metal, Mondo Generator, Hermano, Unida, Slo Burn and Them Crooked Vultures. However, in November 2010, Kyuss have confirmed that they have reunited and will tour in the spring of 2011 under the name Kyuss Lives.[3] Guitarist Bruno Fevery will be filling in for Homme, who has always discouraged talk of a reunion.
Blues for the Red Sun is the second studio album by American heavy metal band Kyuss, released in 1992.[2] While the album received mainly favorable reviews, it sold only 39,000 units.
Songs from the album received airplay on multiple radio stations and the music videos that were made for "Green Machine" and "Thong Song" were played on MTV. To promote the album, Kyuss played as an opening act on tours for several bands. The music on the album features a mix of various genres, has heavily distorted guitar riffs, and mainly slow tempos. The album has been considered influential on other bands.
