Black Sleep of Kali

When vocalist and guitarist Taylor Williams relocated from Sodium Lake Town, UT to Denver, CO in 2008, he quickly placed a classified offer searching for likeminded musicians around the StonerRock.com community forums, and so arrived to connection with guitarist Morgan Carpenter, bassist Austin Michel, and drummer Gordon Koch. Therefore was born Dark Rest of Kali, whose moniker was plucked from Indiana Jones as well as the Temple of Doom, and whose music referenced the violent, sludgy post-metal of Mastodon and Baroness, as evidenced with a five-song demonstration recorded the next 12 months, amid countless regional club shows. Term about the group pass on quickly and resulted in a agreement with Small Rock Records, and although Carpenter stop to pursue additional musical interests, the rest of the trio just recruited new guitarist Patrick Alberts and came back to Sodium Lake Town to wrangle collectively its 2010 debut recording, Our Sluggish Decay.
