lyrics
There are no crowds out on the streets
No neon lights, no beautiful people
Just vacant windows staring down
At the heaps of ash and charred rags
And the avenues yawn between
Ruins that spike like polygraphs
At the half-remembered husks
In the cordwood-bundled clouds
Why won’t you fucking listen to me?
I’m so close to finding the right words
Look past the sores and the slurring tongue
And take my reality into your heart
You think I’m pathetic
But the truth is mine, not yours
Because when they cut me open
I saw the future coiled up inside
No neon lights, no beautiful people
Just vacant windows staring down
At the heaps of ash and charred rags
And the avenues yawn between
Ruins that spike like polygraphs
At the half-remembered husks
In the cordwood-bundled clouds
Why won’t you fucking listen to me?
I’m so close to finding the right words
Look past the sores and the slurring tongue
And take my reality into your heart
You think I’m pathetic
But the truth is mine, not yours
Because when they cut me open
I saw the future coiled up inside

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 “The Oracle of Nassau”
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 “The Oracle of Nassau”
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 “The Oracle of Nassau”
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
