 The Stoner Metal band.What, you want more than that? OK. Kyuss were a highly influential American stoner rock* band from Palm Desert, California. They were the pioneers of their genre (stoner metal/rock), which is vaguely a subgenre of Doom Metal but often has very little to do with doom. Its characteristics include heavily detuned guitars, low-end-heavy sound (Josh Homme would plug his guitar into a bass amp for this very reason), massive Black Sabbath influence, hallucinogenic themes and an overall insanely deep and heavy sound.However, they didn't have nearly as much commercial success or recognition as Queens Of The Stone Age, a band you've probably heard of that is fronted by Josh Homme, former guitarist for Kyuss.They formed in 1989 as Sons of Kyuss, and released an EP under that name in 1990 before shortening their name to "Kyuss". Over the next few years, the band released four full-length albums before splitting up in 1995. Their only constant members were vocalist John Garcia (known for his very recognisable voice, which is often said to be synonymous with the genre) and guitarist Josh Homme, who you already know of.Former members:
