Time Will Fuse Its Worth is the third studio album by the American sludge band Kylesa . It is the group's first album to feature two drummers at the same time.

Emergence

With the album, Kylesa implemented the idea of recording with two drummers along the lines of groups such as the Grateful Dead , Butthole Surfers and Allman Brothers . Since the musicians had no experience with it, the recordings and the mix turned out to be difficult, which was at the expense of the audibility of the two drummers. Furthermore, drummer Jeff Porter had to return to his hometown Detroit shortly before the recordings due to a bereavement and later record his drum tracks. Due to the associated problems with the final mix, the album was originally supposed to be mixed a second time . The studio recordings took place in June 2006 in the Jam Room in Columbia , the recordings of the second drum track in Fort Rocks , the mastering took place in the Visceral Sound Studios in Bethesda , Maryland .

Reviews

Wolfram Denzer from Rock Hard emphasizes the alternation between fast and Doom-like passages and sees influences from the crust in particular . He characterizes the album as something that takes getting used to, but that it can "carry you away". The webzine The Metal Observer assigns the album stylistically to a mixture of sludge and stoner rock with influences from punk and avant-garde . The songwriting is "incredibly varied" and the record is a good introduction to the sludge genre. The Ox-Fanzine describes the album as "evil, brutal and incredibly powerful" and particularly praises the genre-typical "dirty and mangy [e]" production , the album achieves particular independence through the combination of crust with noise elements. Allmusic's Stewart Mason writes that the album shows that Kylesa has emerged stronger from the troubled first years. For the first time she managed to combine all of her strengths. Mason regrets, however, that the use of the two drummers could not add anything new to the band's sound, although it could have given new impulses to the rhythm work.
