Kilter’s highly experimental jazz-metal exists in a space between John Coltrane, Sunn O))), and Meshuggah. Drummer Kenny Grohowksi is known for his work with John Zorn, Secret Chiefs 3, and Imperial Triumphant.
The upcoming new album, Ten Billion Years, is a musical rendering of nothing less than the birth and death of our solar system. Inspired in part by John Cage’s explorations in time-stretching, the trio’s process was to record 10 minutes of music, slow it down to 25% of its original speed, then recreate the pieces from scratch at the new, glacial tempo – a process of reinterpretation and rediscovery they liken to the way in which entire new worlds are revealed when looking through a microscope.
A recent Decibel Magazine article states: “It’s an ambitious premise, but Kilter approaches it with precision rather than spectacle, building tension through repetition, instability, and gradual transformation.” Decibel describes Kilter's sound as “lurching low-end grooves and explosive, blast-driven peaks… vast, disorienting and strangely physical.”
New single "Awakening & Living" depicts the stage in the Earth's evolution where life moves from ocean to land. The track is a moody waltz laced with beautiful sax work and ending in cinematic vocals courtesy of Grohowski.
