A nightmarish blend
of clanging death metal with surreal psychedelic elements, jazz rhythms, and
delirious storytelling, PYRRHON's An Excellent Servant But A Terrible
Master features 45 minutes of crushing, modern death metal, recorded by Dan
Pilla at Bad Lab Studios and mastered by Colin Marston (Gorguts, Dysrhythmia,
Krallice). Following an initial, limited self-release of the album by the band
earlier this year, Selfmadegod Records' official worldwide re-release of the
album is now available for North American preorder here and worldwide here.
Stay tuned for live
updates and much more from PYRRHON
in the weeks ahead. Promos of An
Excellent Servant But A Terrible Master and interviews with the band are
available to North American writers now.

"I’m thinking
of beautiful grotesqueries like later Gorguts – a huge influence here – Morbid
Angel ‘93 -’98, early Willowtip catalogue, and Nader Sadek’s record from this
year. I’m thinking of words like “gelatinous” and “viscera.” And I’m thinking of
New York." - Invisible Oranges
"While
there are moments on the album where the only purpose is to play a megaton of
scatter-shot notes, Pyrrhon sidesteps a majority of the usual knocks against the
genre." - Metal Underground
"...an
impressive effort, composed of rich, intelligent material - brains as well as
brawn." - About.com
"...on
repeated listens I began to find a creepy, unsettling beauty to the dissonant,
spaced out parts that really throw the listener off guard." - Metal Crypt
"...provides
the listener with more than enough evidence proving the case for the growth
potential death metal still has." - MetalReview
