lyrics
Reality’s wilting around me
Words turn to liquid
And run from of the pages of books
My dreams are all stock footage
Skipping and twitching, stuck on repeat
And the official channels are all going silent
No more vapid assurances
No alarms, no surprises
Just colorless light and featureless sound
Blemishing everything
Reality is wilting around me
And my wetware is drying up
So I squeeze myself into wires
And course through the copper to
The cone of the speaker
And ride a shudder through the air
Until I slide into your head
Where I cut through the wax
And caress the little bones
Oh, I’m coming close now
I gently part the tiny hairs
And plant a serrated shard
Between the dusky folds within
A stowaway from a wilted world
Words turn to liquid
And run from of the pages of books
My dreams are all stock footage
Skipping and twitching, stuck on repeat
And the official channels are all going silent
No more vapid assurances
No alarms, no surprises
Just colorless light and featureless sound
Blemishing everything
Reality is wilting around me
And my wetware is drying up
So I squeeze myself into wires
And course through the copper to
The cone of the speaker
And ride a shudder through the air
Until I slide into your head
Where I cut through the wax
And caress the little bones
Oh, I’m coming close now
I gently part the tiny hairs
And plant a serrated shard
Between the dusky folds within
A stowaway from a wilted world

about
Pyrrhon New York, New York
"Outré as they get, everything Pyrrhon do emanates from an obsidian death metal core - just that this music is that much more expressive, its impact that much more disquieting than almost anything else in the genre."

Labyrinth Constellation
by ARTIFICIAL BRAINsupported by 131 fans who also own “Sleeper Agent”
A spectacular debut album, which sets a brutal and atmospheric tone, very well suited for the cold and unforgiving edges of space they are themed around. An amazing album from start to finish.

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulceratesupported by 129 fans who also own “Sleeper Agent”
The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel.

Infrared Horizon
by ARTIFICIAL BRAINsupported by 126 fans who also own “Sleeper Agent”
One of my very first metal albums that i listened to, and i still listen to it almost every week, Artificial brain do an amazing job of creating a brutal and atmospheric sound, with a great deal of technical guitar and unique parts of each track, worth every penny
