Case in point: Sinister Haze is a metal/punk hybrid gone rogue, made up of members of Cough, Balaclava, and Dry Spell. The former's low-slung riffs and smoky atmosphere feature heavily in Sinister Haze thanks to vocalist and Cough guitarist Brandon Marcey, but there's also a cosmic fuck-ton of hollowed-out wails, psychedelia, and acid-washed rock'n'roll in there to keep spacier 'heads happy.Sinister Haze's most recent demo was released on CD by Unholy Anarchy in 2013, but the band's new EP Betrayed By Time will now be available on 180-gram red swirl vinyl via Heavy Slab Records next month. Preorder it from the band or from the label, and check out the trippy vibes of "Changin' Ways" below:SINISTER HAZE TOUR DATES:4/28 Richmond Va @ Strange Matter w/ US Christmas, Generation of Vipers4/29 Durham NC @ Motor City Music Hall w/ US Christmas, Generation of Vipers4/30 Johnson City NC @ The Hideaway w/ US Christmas, Generation of Vipers & Torch Runner5/1 Knoxville TN @ Poison Lawn w/ Torch Runner5/2 Atlanta GA @ 529 w/ Irreversible (Final Show), Order of the Owl5/3 New Orleans @ Siberia w/ Today is the Day5/4 New Orleans @ Sisters in Christ5/5 Houston TX @ Fitzgerald's w/ Today Is The Day5/6 Austin TX @ Mohawk5/7 San Antonio @ Hi Tones5/8 Austin TX @ The Lost Well w/ Conan5/11 Amarillo TX @ Yellow City Bomb Shelter5/12 Albuquerque NM @ Moonlight Lounge5/13 Tempe/Phoenix AZ @ Yucca Tap Room w/ Sorxe and Goya5/16 Psycho California Festival5/18 Oakland CA @ Golden Bull5/20 Denver CO @ Barbar5/21 Omaha NB @ O'Leavers5/22 Minneapolis MN @ Hexagon Bar5/23 Milwuakee WI @ Quarters5/24 Chicago IL @ LiveWire Lounge5/25 Detroit MI @ Corktown Tavern5/26 Pittsburgh PA @ 31st St. PubKim Kelly is super bummed that Psycho California is so close to Maryland Deathfest; she's contemplating selling a kidney on Twitter: @grimkim
