SYK announce new album ‘Pyramiden’

SYK have announced a new album!

Titled Pyramiden, the upcoming album from the Italian avant-garde extreme metal band is the follow-up to 2016’s I-Optikon and is scheduled to be released in March this year, via Nuclear Blast Records in Europe and Housecore Records in North America.

The upcoming album was composed and recorded over the course of three years, the seven-track offering was mixed in the winter of 2020/2021 at Inverno Studios under the supervision of Fabrizio Gesuato, while mastering took place at Phil Anselmo’s own Nodferatu’s Lair with Stephen Berrigan at the helm. The record features artwork by Elena Romenkova.

Speaking about the upcoming album, guitarist and principal songwriter Stefano Ferrian says, “Pyramiden is about finding the way to isolate oneself to all the uneasiness coming from society, then find a suitable space to face one’s uneasiness. It’s being in the farthest place on earth where silence gives room to all sorts of visions or hallucinations. As with the previous release, Pyramiden follows the alchemic principle of dissolving in order to assume a new shape but diving far deeper into obscurity where surviving means, in fact, to invent light into darkness.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first song lifted from the upcoming album; the title track Pyramiden.
