The eccentric Toby Driver-led KAYO DOT brings hardcore avant-metal to the big apple in a way that you don’t see too often. With mellow instrumental turns, melodic vocals, and screams that aren’t too in-your-face, their music is a progressive fusion that soothes yet energizes. The band is set to drop a new double-album titled ‘HUBARDO’ this fall, just in time to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the release of their debut album, ‘Choirs of The Eye.’ KD has released a 13-minute audio teaser trailer for the new album via SoundCloud. They’re currently taking pre-orders for the album here to help make it all happen. – Michael Haskoor (@Tweetskoor)
