The legacy of Kyuss – the pioneers of desert rock and the spiritual fathers of stoner metal – echoes endlessly across generations and continents. Now, over two decades after their final ride into the sonic sunset, a legion of underground bands unites to pay respect in a massive, fuzz-drenched tribute. This is not just a tribute – it’s a worldwide celebration of riff worship, sand-blasted psych, and raw desert energy.
