''The'' [[Stoner Metal]] band.
 
What, you want more than that? OK. [[Kyuss]] were a highly influential American stoner rock<ref>(Kyuss qualified as both stoner rock and stoner metal; the two terms are not totally interchangableinterchangeable, but have a very large amount of overlap)</ref> 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.

Tropes that apply to Kyuss:
 
* [[A Good Name for a Rock Band]] - [[wikipedia:Kyuss (Greyhawk)|They named themselves after a demigod from Dungeons and Dragons]].
* [[Breakup Breakout]] - After Kyuss broke up, Josh Homme founded [[Queens of the Stone Age]] and had far more commercial success than Kyuss ever did.
