Riffrelevant.com live review on Scott Kelly ACCOMPANIED BY JOHN JUDKINS & live video

Video Frame

“Kelly is primarily known for his day job in the legendary band Neurosis, as well as in acts like Shrinebuilder, Mirrors for Psychic Warfare, Corrections House,Tribes of Neurot, Blood & Time, etc. Thankfully, I was hip to the stripped down, minimalist music he creates alone, as well. The profoundly poignant content he manifests as an individual, or within the set up as Scott Kelly & The Road Home, is a soul-searing testament to his earnest talent.
(…)
As for the people in attendance, the significance of our collective, communal-like experience was evident. Complete silence hung like a haze during these songs. No one dared utter a word as we stood transfixed, only applauding as each came to an end.
(…)
There would be a fantastic sonic representation of the varying periods of output from Kelly’s solo legacy, as songs “The Wash Of The Sea” and “Endless” from 2016’s “Push Me Onto The” EP were played. There were returns to the 2012 album (…), as well, with “The Sun Is Dreaming In The Soul” and “We Let The Hell Come”. The ladder was delivered with sections of undiluted aggressionchanneled, via electrified instrumentation and performer angst.”
