Italian Stoner Rockers Kayleth are proud to announce the release of their cover version of “Forma e sostanza,” originally written and performed by the legendary C.S.I. (Consorzio Suonatori Indipendenti), one of the most influential names in Italian Rock history: https://song.link/kayleth_fs
“Several years ago, we were asked to arrange a song by C.S.I. for a commemorative compilation,” the band recalls. “We chose Forma e sostanza for its powerful riffs and hypnotic rhythm, paired with lyrics fiercely addressing capitalism and politics. We remained faithful to the essence written by C.S.I., while adding our own sound that makes the track even more raw, scratchy and psychedelic. The compilation was never released and, after years under the dust, we decided to share this version with the world, especially in today’s troubled historical period.”
With their reinterpretation of “Forma e sostanza,” Kayleth pay tribute to a timeless anthem of Italian music, filtering it through their own Heavy, Space-infused vision.
Formed in Verona in 2005, Kayleth built their sonic identity on the foundations of Stoner and Desert Rock, drawing inspiration from pioneers such as Kyuss, Monster Magnet and 37005, while blending in strong Space Rock influences.
Their live shows, full of spacey atmospheres, doom-laden heaviness and psychedelic breaks, have seen the band share stages with OJM, Deville, Bud Spencer Blues Explosion, Verdena, Naam, Spiral Arms, Scorpion Child and Stoned Jesus.
With the addition of a full-time synthesizer player in 2013, Kayleth expanded their horizons into cosmic and Psychedelic territories, leading to the release of their acclaimed full-length “Space Muffin” (2015, Argonauta Records). The band’s discography further includes the split vinyl “Second Coming of Heavy – Chapter 6” (Ripple Music, 2017), the extended edition “Space Muffin – Rusty Edition” (2017), “Colossus” (2018) and “2020 Back to Earth” (2020), both highly praised by critics and audiences alike. Their latest studio album, “New Babylon”, was released in 2024 via Argonauta Records.
