Running Out Of Skin

bcb723 OK - this is some outside the box weird shit right here. Complete chaos and tension from the start, you just try and hang on till the end of this diverse EP. Doug Moore's batshit vocals tower over everything. I once excitedly described the first 3 songs on this disc to a friend as "a tech-death approach influenced by Trout Mask Replica-era Beefheart." He just told me to shut the fuck up. Favorite track: Motivational Speaker II.

Frederf Bizarre, diverse, intense are some of the words I'd use to describe this EP. I liked it and want to hear more of their stuff. Favorite track: Statistic Singular.

Alexander Sheek Like the last 2 Pyrrhon offerings, something I just snapped up on pure impulse without even bothering to listen, having heard (and loved) "An Excellent Servant...". If it gets more twisted than this, I have yet to chance upon it...

xhrl_ Being fond of Atheist, Demilich and Gorguts, I have found Pyrrhon to share some jazz-loving qualities with each of them. Yet there are significant differences, too. None of them are as deliberately random & cacophonous as Pyrrhon. This side of free-form jazz, I have not heard much else as close. The Death cover of Crystal Mountain is fantastic & worth the cost of the EP by itself. The sounds are nightmarish and hard to grasp because they are so randomly blended. The EP's 17' run time is perfect! Favorite track: Crystal Mountain.

1.	Statistic Singular 06:30	lyrics	buy track
I saw a man crushed in the subway Four years back Some college kid from Queens Traded shoves on the platform With some desperate debased drunk Who dragged them to the tracks As the train came His scramble too slow by a second Surprise on his face When they wrenched his pulp From between the car and the platform I was gone by the time he died Gasping in the ambulance There must’ve been hundreds Who saw him there stricken Their voices burst forth fluid And we all drowned in the flood The sight of him sodden in unwilling eyes His life seeping down into concrete Into the records that name and contain us When our lovely shells are gone The numbers go up and up But the sum never makes sense

Dust in major urban centers Mostly consists of human skin cells It's always good to know Where your friends are

Try harder It's not good enough Work harder It's not finished yet It doesn't hurt bad enough You're not you without failure You have no name but weakness

Built from blind faith, passed down From self-induced fantasies Turn a page to justify Conjuring power, it opens wide On your seventh day Is that how it's done? Twisting your eyes to perceive all that you want To assume from ignorance Inflicting wound with a cross-turned-dagger Inside Crystal Mountain, evil takes its form Inside Crystal Mountain, commandments are reborn All the traps are set to confine All who get in the way of the divine In sight and in mind of the hypocrites A slave to the curse, forever confined Shatter the myth, don't cut yourself On your words, against dreams made of steel Stronger than any faith That inflicts pain and fear Is that how it's done? Twisting your eyes to perceive all that you want To assume from ignorance Inflicting wound with a cross-turned-dagger Inside Crystal Mountain, evil takes its form Inside Crystal Mountain, commandments are reborn

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."
-Decibel

total brain melter! Krallice decides to take their music in a slightly different direction, introducing extremely chaotic and technical riffs amidst super complicated drum patterns. heavy Behold the Arctopus vibes from this one. n. charlene excelsia

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
