Hydra Head Records signs Kayo Dot

Boston, MA experimental metal ensemble Kayo Dot recently inked a deal with Hydra Head Records for the release of their next album. The group plans to enter the studio in early summer and the album should be out in late 2007 or early 2008. Additionally, guitarist Greg Massi has parted ways amicably with the group to focus on his own music, which you can check out here.

MikeDeadworks 12/15/2006 8:22:28 AM

whaaaat, they lost like half the band. i thought they broke up... now they get a record deal, and lose ANOTHER person.

vdburns 12/15/2006 10:20:52 AM

There's nothing to get about this band, except maybe a c-ck or two in your mouth or rear.

terraformer 12/15/2006 10:43:20 AM

fueledbyfailure 12/15/2006 10:45:36 AM

it's good to know i'm not alone here... i thought Maudlin was overrated too...

BruceWayne 12/15/2006 10:56:16 AM

I sort of liked the first release... the last one was so overly pretentious

truthsayer 12/15/2006 11:23:35 AM

I thoroughly enjoy all Kayo Dot releases and support this signed. Bummer about Greg Massi, though.

onemoremotherfucker 12/15/2006 11:39:39 AM

awesome band. good luck to greg...

theoneandonly 12/15/2006 11:46:48 AM

Im with the MAj on this one...I love robotic emppire, as well as Hydrahead, but I just dont get KAyo dot either...to me it is just a big bore...I havent listened to it tons, but wasnt too over impressed...just my opinion

YouAreSceneAsFuck 12/15/2006 11:55:53 AM

I heard that the members who left joined Mushroomhead and formed a super group.

gozer 12/15/2006 12:28:08 PM

didnt they lose 4 people last month....and now another? they should jsut stop, its not the same band anymore.

rickreaction 12/15/2006 12:35:36 PM

xtroyx 12/15/2006 12:48:08 PM

weird turn of events. i'm stoked for a new release though.. i was worried when half the band left. keep truckin' toby.

MarginError 12/15/2006 1:01:38 PM

I love what this band is going for musically, but their end product always fcking sucks.

ass_cobra 12/15/2006 1:33:16 PM

good deal, can't wait to hear it!

hxc0148 12/15/2006 2:19:34 PM

one of my favorite bands of recent on my favorite label. this is great news. i hope toby can get it together with all new members though. very excited.

holycitybradley 12/15/2006 3:07:18 PM

carry on my wayward son

Mikey216 12/15/2006 4:45:20 PM

Solid band... the two remaining people can write the whole album by themselves. They just have to recruit for touring now.

mike_dexter 12/15/2006 6:52:00 PM

xomertax 12/16/2006 6:53:06 AM
