Spanish occult drone/doom unit PYLAR today
unveils the disquieting sounds of “La Caída (Descenso Definitivo A
Través De Las Profundidades Mayores).” Now streaming at Decibel
Magazine, the track comes off the project’s Abysmos full-length, set for release March 4th via Humo Internacional.
PYLAR
is made up of several hyerophants, shamans, and druids. It is thought
that there are members of the mighty Orthodox and the magnificent
Blooming Látigo among them. Together the band’s participants fuse song,
dance, and invocations, their every hymn a vibrational ceremony of sorts
with the objective of awakening tellurian forces which have been lying
dormant since the Ancient Times.
Notes the band, “With ‘La Caída…’ Abysmos´ first track, the atmosphere of the introduction is inspired by The Lighthouse
soundtrack, with music composed by Mark Korven. Although Sunn O))) is
an obvious influence, we wanted to add something to the drone vibe of
the intro that you don't usually hear in this type of band. While the
horn and the guitar maintain a brutal and slow dialogue, the violin, the
synthesizers, and the electronic percussions add timbre variety through
textures that intertwine and increase the tension. Once the theme
explodes, the task is to maintain the tension of a music to which more
and more elements are added, having in mind the Neurosis of Through Silver In Blood
or the wildest Swans. On a harmonic level, the tension is not resolved
until a final leviathanic riff that coincides with the textural climax
of the composition where the plot becomes ultra-dense, seeking to
disorient the listener and plunge him into a spiral of dementia.”
Adds
Decibel, “Adding to their mystique, the occult group fuses invocations
and ancient shamanic practices to make their music more of a ritual or
ceremony that one needs to experience to understand. And even if you
don’t buy into the metaphysical aspect of the music, the doom is strong
with this one…”

Abysmos is the second part of an album trilogy, which began with 2019’s critically lauded Horror Cósmyco. Delivering four suffocating psalms that vacate into the unknown and explore the unfathomable, PYLAR seeks
to stun through sonic uncertainty, increasing tension by twisting the
primordial symbols of “metal.” Through a fantastically dense texture
that surrounds the instrumental core, PYLAR causes
disorientation in its listeners by superimposing elements of the style
of Blut Aus Nord, Aevangelist, Swans, and Oranssi Pazuzu. The resulting
atmosphere is a metal with an omnipresent but elusive sound, with vague
to ungraspable dimensions, that confounds and hypnotizes. Guitar and
bass unleash hidden forces coupled with mountains of drums and chthonic
percussions; legions of inter-dimensional horns and violins form the
shapeless mass above as abyssal voices sing in forgotten alphabets
reciting fragments of forbidden books that cause the loss of reason.
To translate what the Abyss sounds like, PYLAR
has once again collaborated with Francisco Jota-Pérez (expert in
hyperstition, occultural philosophy, and experimental narrator) whose
texts add to the whole an impenetrable wall of abyssal significance.
