Kayleth were born in Verona (ITALY) in 2005 and their sound is inspired by the stoner rock of Kyuss, Monster Magnet and Orange Goblin with space influences.
Their evolution brought them to record several self-produced EPs: Not Yet (2006), In The Womb Of Time (2008), Rusty Gold (2010) and The Survivor (2012).
Their gigs capture with space sounds, doom and psychedelic breaks and this permits band to share the stage with Ufo Mammut, 1000Mods, Stoned Jesus, High on Fire, Kadavar, OJM, Deville, Verdena, Naam, Spiral Arms, Scorpion Child and play at some european festivals like Bear Stone (HR).
A new element and his synthesizer arrived on 2013 so Kayleth started to explore new sounds approaching space/psychedelic landscapes and record the new full length "Space Muffin" released on 2015 by Argonauta Records.
On June 2017, the American label Ripple Music included songs from EP "The Survivor" and the unpublished "Magnetar" in the vinyl split "Second Coming of Heavy Chapter 6".
The band has published "Colossus" album in 2018 , "2020 Back to Earth" on 2020 and "New Babylon" on 2024.
They been very well received by critics and the public, with excellent reviews in Rock Hard, Metal Hammer, Metalhead, Power Play, Inferno Magazien, etc.

It has now been four years since our return to earth in "2020 back to earth". There we had found a cold and inhospitable place, humanity was inexorably channeled on the path to extinction. We therefore decided to flee immediately in search of another planet where we could dwell.
We therefore came to New Babylon, a planet inhabited by humanoids but also by monstrous and ravenous creatures. There are "giants" that march about raising immense clouds of dust, stealing and plundering everything from people. Giants much like our corporations, they know no defeat and have no weaknesses, at least apparent ones.
There are old warriors like jarek who wait for war to feel like heroes, to feel alive. They find their dimension within the battle, where the line between hero and assassin magically blurs.
There are pyramids erected by men who think they are gods and turn the things life gives them into weapons and death, changing their use and meaning. Little men who think themselves omnipotent, burying knowledge of how life works under piles of lies.
We find a myriad of slaves, surrendered to live in huge troughs. They toil at nothing and find meaning in nothing. They prefer a convenient lie to an inconvenient truth.
In short, we realize that we have arrived in a world very much like earth. We are aliens but in a certain way we feel at home. We want to know, to understand, to evolve. We don't recognize ourselves in this deceived humanity, we don't give in, we believe. Nature, life is wonderful but when one thing loses its usefulness life gently explains to it that it is time to make room for something else. This existence has already explained to the dinosaurs.
Kayleth continue their journey, never stopping because who seeks will find itself.
"New Babylon ranks next to Space Muffin as Kayleth’s best album for me and one that contains some of their best grooves of their career to date." - Outlaws Of The Sun
"Sit down and really take in We Are Aliens as it’s a joy to listen to, but are the aliens we think exist, just like us? Let Kayleth take you on their journey of discovery." - The Sleeping Shaman
"On this album the Italian five manage to translate heroism into wild and wonderful sounds, often sounding even more like a grungier, metal version of Monster Magnet, mixed with mix a definitive love for Kyuss, Orange Goblin and a prog rock outfit like Riverside." - Stoner Hive
"It’s a call to arms for the dreamers and the rebels, a reminder that no matter how dark the journey, there is always light to be found. This album is a must-listen for anyone into psych stoner rock!" - Witching Buzz
"New Babylon is a triumph. It’s an album that demands to be listened to in full, each track a journey through heavy riffs and cosmic themes." - Iron Backstage
"Listening to a piece like 'New Babylon's Wall,' you can appreciate the richness and sonic fertility of the group, with beautiful melodies enriched by the right amount of electronics, starting from a psych conception of the stoner sound, and there is no lack of prog elements, all with beautiful melodies. As mentioned earlier, a sci-fi band in both approach and essence." - InYourEyesEzine
"KAYLETH doesn't reinvent anything, but they absolutely crush it by the rules!" - Rock'N Force
"Stoner rock has rarely sounded as original, diverse and intoxicating as it does here!" - Powermetal.de
"New Babylon offers 42 entertaining minutes of spaced-out stoner rock, perfect for a long car journey" - Hellfire
"Futuristic stories are paired with classic stoner rock. The Italians do not experiment and use spacey elements only to underline the story, but never to break out of the genre." - Soundmagnet
