Let Pyrrhon Melt Your Brain with Their "Cancer Mantra"

The Brooklyn metal band... waitwaitwait don't leave yet... get weird and crush with their new streaming track.

Pyrrhon is a technical metal band from Brooklyn. OKOKOK before you fucking run for the hills, hide behind your Gorguts records, and leave a trail of melted Girls DVDs in your wake, know that there is something a little off-kilter about the quartet. Lead by the hyper-literate and wide-eyed frontman Doug Moore, Pyrrhon take what can be a lesson in guitar nerd-ery and turn it into dizzyingly fascinating songwriting that touches on grind, death metal, jazz-y technicality, and noise. Think of the crossroads between Origin, Unsane, Deadguy, and the adventurous spirit of Naked City and you might be in the same ballpark, even though this is a completely different sport entirely.
