The Architect Confesses (Spittlestrand Hair)
from An Excellent Servant But a Terrible Master by Pyrrhon
lyrics
I built a man
With a clockwork heart and gravel hands
He sees no color and hears no music
I let tumors clog a throat that leads
To a Moebius stomach
Castrated and engorged
Priapism of the mind
A victim of circumstance
I built a woman
With bathroom-floor skin and spittlestrand hair
Her breasts yield up poison
And I filled her skull with sobs and tears
Her womb is ripe with future
She waits and whispers
My hands shake
Stained, calloused hands
They know my guilt and my pride
They wait with her for grandchildren
With their clockwork hearts
And gravel hands
With bathroom-floor skin
And spittlestrand hair
They curse their maker
And sharpen their knives
The best of intentions
Spawn the foulest beasts
I deserve what’s coming for me
It will be a relief
With a clockwork heart and gravel hands
He sees no color and hears no music
I let tumors clog a throat that leads
To a Moebius stomach
Castrated and engorged
Priapism of the mind
A victim of circumstance
I built a woman
With bathroom-floor skin and spittlestrand hair
Her breasts yield up poison
And I filled her skull with sobs and tears
Her womb is ripe with future
She waits and whispers
My hands shake
Stained, calloused hands
They know my guilt and my pride
They wait with her for grandchildren
With their clockwork hearts
And gravel hands
With bathroom-floor skin
And spittlestrand hair
They curse their maker
And sharpen their knives
The best of intentions
Spawn the foulest beasts
I deserve what’s coming for me
It will be a relief

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."

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.

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulceratesupported by 95 fans who also own “The Architect Confesses (Spittlestrand Hair)”
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.

The Indonesian act Kekal leaves no genre unturned, colliding black metal with industrial music with melodic post-rock on this stunning LP.
