Under light, that I have never seen
Reach up to the sun or you can run
Found the roof, the smallness of it all
Found the roof, you will never fall
You'll never
Classic lyrics from the song "Phototropic", that peaks after a three minute introduction.
Kyuss is not a well known band from the 90’s. However, they have been covered by bands such as Tool and Metallica and affected or influenced the make up of popular bands such as The Foo Fighters and
Kyuss released four albums in the 90’s before breaking up. They came from the desert and often hosted parties out in the middle of nowhere with just a generator. This became popular and became known as the Desert Sessions. The band was labeled as “Stoner Rock” and are credited for taking the genre to new heights with their first true album – Blues for the Red Sun. They took the sound of Black Sabbath added more bass, blues and of course the singing of John Garcia.

Be thankful we have so many bands that have been touched, influenced, or inspired by Kyuss in some way. As it seems a reunion is not in the works anytime soon.
