The band continues to push boundaries in both sound and aesthetic, blending jagged fragments of black metal and shoegaze as they have done since their influential 2008 debut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With their forthcoming LP&nbsp;<strong><em>Pythagoras<\/em><\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Pyramids<\/strong>&nbsp;add unconventional layers of reggaeton and neoperreo to both voice and rhythm. Named after the ancient Greek philosopher,&nbsp;<em><strong>Pythagoras<\/strong><\/em>&nbsp;represents the band\u2019s ongoing commitment to innovation, and the perpetual juxtaposition of the delicate and the devastating, embracing complex musical structures and rhythms that both challenge and captivate the listener. At the heart of the album lies an intricate balance between aggressive blast beats and the syncopated pulse of reggaeton\u2019s signature dembow rhythm\u2014a concept born from founder Rich Loren Balling\u2019s own immersion in both extreme music and pop genres.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of their latest single, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/anotherside.cmail19.com\/t\/y-l-chktuld-drkihtllky-y\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Pretty Pigs,<\/a>&#8221;

2015 album\u00a0<em>A Northern Meadow<\/em>\u00a0(Profound Lore), a work that earned critical acclaim for taking what Pitchfork deemed \u201ca beautiful mess\u201d of its debut to a more focused, yet equally genre-defying, <a href=\"https:\/\/livemusicblog.com\/news\/outside-lands-radiohead-kills-it-despite-some-sound-problems\/\">sound<\/a>. The following nine years, Balling,\u00a0along with original members Matthew Kelly, Matt Embree, and David Embree<strong><em>,\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0ventured further into harsh noise before finding a link between the evolution of extreme music (think Black Sabbath to Darkthrone) where the intensity of genre keeps mounting until eventually it becomes blissful and harrowing, and in a move akin to palette cleansing, adopted an unexpected reverence for the innovation happening in pop music, specifically female Neoperreo and reggaeton artists such as Emjay, La Zowi, Six Sex, Bea Pelea, Karol G, and Rosalia. His newfound appreciation for the rhythm and intensity of reggaeton, particularly its organic ability to interplay with metal\u2019s blast beats, laid the foundation for the distinctive sound of\u00a0<em><strong>Pythagoras<\/strong><\/em>. Through this album,\u00a0<strong>Pyramids<\/strong>\u00a0introduces a dynamic fusion where global rhythms meet atmospheric shoegaze textures, all with the aggression of a black metal sensibility at its core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Pythagoras<\/strong><\/em>&nbsp;is not just a sonic evolution\u2014it is an exploration of the cycles of musical extremes. Balling believes that genres, like metal, evolve towards greater intensity until they reach a point of such sonic density and noise that they return to something beautifully melodic and transcendent. This concept is reflected in the album\u2019s dense, layered compositions and its ability to both overwhelm and soothe the listener. The album\u2019s rhythm is a complex mathematical interplay, where the familiar blast beat and pounding dembow rhythm intersect, creating a sound that is both chaotic and hypnotic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To bring the album\u2019s vision to life, Pyramids enlisted vocalist Emy Smith, whose neoperreo-influenced vocals add a haunting, ethereal layer to the dense soundscape. The album&#8217;s cover art, created by Miami-based nail artist Kro Vargas (aka\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/anotherside.cmail19.com\/t\/y-l-chktuld-drkihtllky-d\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Krocaine<\/a>), further captures the ominous yet captivating essence of the music, hinting at the fusion of genres and cultures that defines\u00a0<em><strong>Pythagoras<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With&nbsp;<em><strong>Pythagoras<\/strong><\/em>,&nbsp;<strong>Pyramids<\/strong>&nbsp;are once again poised to redefine the future of extreme music. As one of the most forward-thinking forces in contemporary music, the band continues to forge a path that transcends genre and time. Their unique blend of delicate beauty and devastating intensity invites listeners to explore a world of sound that is both expansive and claustrophobic, suspended between warmth and emptiness.&nbsp;<em><strong>Pythagoras<\/strong><\/em>&nbsp;is not just an album; it is a statement\u2014a daring, innovative work that challenges convention and leads the listener through the unknown into new realms of sonic possibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pre-order\u00a0<strong><em>Pythagoras\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/anotherside.cmail19.com\/t\/y-l-chktuld-drkihtllky-h\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pythagoras-track-list\"><em>Pythagoras,<\/em>\u00a0track list:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/anotherside.cmail19.com\/t\/y-l-chktuld-drkihtllky-k\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Fools Gold (Mi Vida Ha Ido Pa Atras)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/anotherside.cmail19.com\/t\/y-l-chktuld-drkihtllky-u\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Pretty Pigs<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bones and Eggshells<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mira Mirame Brillar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cracks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>God of Light<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-follow-the-pyramids\">Follow the Pyramids<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pyramids:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/anotherside.cmail19.com\/t\/y-l-chktuld-drkihtllky-o\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Bandcamp<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/anotherside.cmail19.com\/t\/y-l-chktuld-drkihtllky-b\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pyramids explore the cyclical evolution of extreme music, blending metal\/reggaeton on new single \u201cPretty Pigs\u201d which appears on Pythagoras\u2014 out May 2nd","protected":false},"author":668,"featured_media":270000,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"single-two-column.php","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13886],"tags":[14268,13933,14025],"department":[13830],"class_list":["post-269999","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-progressive-metal","tag-new-releases","tag-new-single-release","tag-pyramids","department-metal"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.1 (Yoast SEO v26.8) -
