   About Byla
Byla consists of Kevin Hufnagel, of Relapse Records’ instrumentalists Dysrhythmia, and Colin Marston, of Dysrhythmia, Black Market/Metal Blade recording artists Behold... the Arctopus and Crucial Blast Records experimental duo Infidel?/Castro!. Though their respective bands are more known for technical and abrasive music, Byla focuses on creating dream-like, rich atmospherics. Using guitar as it’s primary sound source, Byla takes the listener from epic sound walls to late night, half-asleep drones. In 2005 they released their first self-titled CD on Translation Loss Records, a mainly quiet and tranquil experience. Released in the Fall of ’07 was the album ’Viscera’, a collaboration of sonic massiveness and density between Byla and vocalist Jarboe [formerly of Swans, and acclaimed solo artist]. This album still retains the ambient aesthetic but with a much more intense atmosphere.

There’s a garden all along the roadside and rows of grapevines when that ends… littered with styrofoam cups and rubbish people didn’t want in their car, but in someone else’s garden. No one puts their mahogany chest of draws in the neighbours’ garden, just chocolate wrappers speaking louder then words that they couldn’t care less…
