About me:
KHIGH is a signed band dubbed as one of the most innovative of the heavy scene and uncompromising.
Our new album Copylefted Rightovers has recently reached #2 in the Los Angeles area metal charts on ReverbNation.com and topped #10 globally. It can be purchased online on CDBaby.com among others.
We have a strong following with requests and constant appreciation from Greenland to Patagonia, with thousands of friends that proactively follow our MySpace page and regularly visit our official website.
This is NOT your usual crappy act mimicking the latest trend. Or the past ones.
Some people tried to encage us inside a single genre, but soon realized that's simply not possible since the sound of the band is so colorful that your ears will be blown away with the variety of moods you'll find yourself into. Sure it's heavy rock, but with a lot more. You bet.
This is Kris, your host, guitarist and singer of this Hollywood based 3-piece act signed to Power Play Records of NY.

WHAT THEY SAY...
MetalManiacs:
«KHIGH have a very personal style... Strengthened by an awesome Kris behind the microphone, often able to reach the peak on the track of the hard rock of the first 90's... Precious bass lines too...»
SilentScream: «KHIGH demonstrate to have good writing capabilities used to develop a strong hard rock with clear influences from the 80's, also for what concerns the structure of the songs with gutsy riffing and cool solos. Most of the sound of the band depends on the guitar style of Kris (surely a the guitar hero lover) and on his way to sing at times similar to Alice Cooper and Dave Mustaine....»
HardRock Haven: «Musically, the band is about as tight as you are going to find. Kris puts his flair on every song, how they are constructed, and how he rips through his solos. It’s not all about speed, though; in fact, his solos are layered with real emotion, beauty or anger, whatever the song calls for... Opening with “Change”, you’ll hear Kris sort of yell/rap the intro, and the frantic guitars start in. If you have to compare this song to someone, musically, it’d be when Extreme got really weird... The title track shows the band slowing down, working on nuance and ambience more than full throttle metal. This time, Kris puts an edge to his voice, and sings a bit darker, although still melodic. This has one of the memorable chorus, and lyrically, it shines too. “Hedonism will be his moral. Carpe diem fills his soul and mind”...
“Latin Truths” will throw you for a loop. This is acoustic, nothing like what you’ve heard thus far. Watching these guys play live must be jaw-dropping... And to think that Kris actually has to sing while playing his instrument at this level should amaze everyone. This isn’t mainstream music, but it is one of the most innovative CDs you’ll get this year...»
