Hubardo

Hubardo is the sixth album, a concept double album, by Kayo Dot, self-released and funded through pre-orders on frontman Toby Driver's Ice Level Records in 2013. It is the follow up to Gamma Knife, which was released in 2012. It is Kayo Dot's first double album, its longest album and one of its heaviest albums to date, containing aspects of avant-garde metal, black metal, post-metal, post-rock, jazz fusion as well as chamber music. It is considered a throwback to maudlin of the Well and early Kayo Dot recordings, as it contains much more metal screaming vocals by collaborator Jason Byron and Driver than any Kayo Dot album. It also contains much more repetition, metal riffs, overdubs, polyrhythms and double bass than past albums despite leaning heavily on typical wide-ranging jazz and chamber music influenced orchestration. It was picked as the 4th best album of 2013 on indie music website SputnikMusic.

Hubardo was co-produced by longtime producer Randall Dunn and Toby Driver. Occasional collaborator and former maudlin of the Well vocalist Jason Byron recorded his first vocal performance since 2002's maudlin of the Well album Leaving Your Body Map on the song "The Black Stone." He also wrote the lyrics for the album and a 40-page book, entitled "The Sword of Satan" packed with the vinyl copy of the album detailing the story behind Hubardo.

After leaving Hydra Head Records and releasing Gamma Knife independently, Driver crowdfunded the album entirely through pre-orders on independent music website Bandcamp. Shortly after the release of the album, Driver announced that he was in the process of producing a triple LP "super limited black vinyl" that was limited to 200 pressings which contained a 40-page book detailing the concept behind the album entitled "The Sword of Satan" written by Jason Byron.
