Origin Spain
Pylar is a Spanish avantgarde black/doom metal band formed in Seville in 2012, with a discography centred on occult themes, cosmic horror, experimental metal and unconventional composition. Their music combines extreme metal with violin, synthesizers, ritual percussion and abstract vocal arrangements. The current line up features Gamaboz on drums and percussion, Mesagret on bass, Lingua Alauda on violin, Ibb-Ib’thu The Renegade and Linea Serpentinata on vocals, while Bar-Gal handles guitar, synthesizer and the Law Of Salazar. “Delyrio” opens the band’s final album cycle, extending their fascination with metaphysical concepts and extreme sonic experimentation.
“Delyrio” is built around disorientation, with four extended compositions moving through avantgarde black metal, doom, psychedelic textures, industrial sounds and ritual elements. Guitars and percussion form the metallic core, while violin, synthesizer and the two vocalists add further layers to an already
unconventional sound. Recorded and mixed at La Mina, the production maintains an organic presentation, allowing the various instruments to remain distinguishable when the arrangements become crowded. The lyrical and visual side follows the album’s metaphysical and occult direction, adding another layer to the strange atmosphere.
“A?????sis”, “Adoración”, “Enajenación” and “Enardecimiento” develop gradually, shifting between slow doom passages, distorted psychedelic sections, dissonant black metal and ritual percussion. Conventional hooks are almost completely absent, with the music relying on texture, tension and gradual transformation. Some sections become overloaded with ideas, making the listening experience demanding, while others create a hypnotic effect through repetition, dissonance and unusual instrumental combinations.
Pylar approaches extreme metal as raw material for something far more abstract, resulting in an album that can be fascinating one moment and difficult to process the next. “Delyrio” is ambitious, strange and occasionally excessive, with enough musical substance to justify its unconventional approach and its place within the more experimental side of Spanish extreme metal.
