Kalas
Kalas brought together several musicians from the East Bay music scene,
with the big name being Matt Pike from the mighty
High On Fire.
On the band's self-titled
2006 effort,
the style rested somewhere between sludge and stoner metal, as
they weren't as oppressively heavy as most sludge metal, but
the doomier pace and Pike's gruff vocal style slotted them as far heavier
than the typical stoner rock band.
There's a fair amount songwriting depth to keep things interesting,
and while
no one band comes to mind as a soundalike, there are shades of
Neurosis, maybe a bit of
Mastodon, plus a few shades of
High On Fire on occasion.
Presumably Pike's main band took focus in the long run, as Kalas
never recorded again.
