PYRRHON To Unleash 'The Mother Of Virtues ' This Spring

February 9, 2014

New York City progressive death metallers PYRRHON (pronounced peer-on) emerge from the urban decay with a nightmarish offering of physically and psychologically mauling extreme metal. Titled "The Mother Of Virtues", the band's sophomore full-length is a mind-bending fusion of clanging death metal, surreal psychedelia, dark jazz rhythms and delirious storytelling. Recorded with Ryan Jones (TODAY IS THE DAY, MUTILATION RITES) and mastered by Colin Marston (GORGUTS, KRALLICE),the nine tracks comprising take the listener on a harrowing journey into the darkest corners of musical severity. It is recommended for demented souls who worship at the altars of GORGUTS, ULCERATE, CRYPTOPSY, PORTAL, DEATHSPELL OMEGA, TODAY IS THE DAY and the like.

The follow up to 2011's critically-adored "An Excellent Servant But A Terrible Master", "The Mother Of Virtues" will be unleashed on CD, LP and digitally in North America via Relapse Records on April 1, Germany/Finland/Benelux on March 28 and the rest of the world on March 31.

Elaborates vocalist Doug Moore: "We focused on capturing an organic, spontaneous sound on this album. Consequently, we tracked most of the album live; most of its quieter moments and solo breaks are partially or entirely improvised. We like to let the chips fall where they may."
