"WHAT PASSES FOR SURVIVAL" LP/CD
OUT AUGUST 8TH — THROATRUINER RECORDS (LP) / WILLOWTIP (CD)

Continuing to shapeshift and unravel, while using unorthodox songwriting techniques that border on the incomprehensible, avant-garde extreme metal quartet PYRRHON return with What Passes For Survival.

Dense, volatile, and drenched in manic ferocity, What Passes For Survival is an aural challenge that refuses to adhere to genre conventions, merging strategic orchestrated bursts of death metal chaos with expanses of unhinged improvisation.

The latest stage of PYRRHON’s metamorphosis is one that demands repeated audio submersion from the listener, and satisfies those craving sonic extremity that pushes limits.

— Recorded live, mixed, and mastered by Colin Marston at The Thousand Caves
