Richmond, Virginia's Pyramid Mass fuses blackened sludge with progressive ambition, layering dissonant riffing and scorched-earth atmosphere over complex song structures that reward patient listening from a Richmond scene long comfortable with sonic extremity.
From the wine-producing village of Vetroz in the Valais canton, Pyramide has been building melodic heavy metal since 2015. Their francophone Swiss perspective adds a Gallic flair to classic metal structures, setting them apart from their Germanic Swiss counterparts.
Sludge and doom metal band from Malmo, Sweden, active since 2009, delivering over sixteen years of monolithic sludge and doom from the southernmost Swedish city. They are veterans of the Scandinavian sludge scene.
Denton, Texas experimentalists Pyramids have spent over a decade dissolving the boundaries between post-metal, ambient, and shoegaze, crafting densely layered soundscapes that are as likely to drift into serene abstraction as they are to erupt into crushing noise.
Pyramidum is a black/death metal band from Quito, Ecuador, formed in 2022 and driven by themes of occultism, vitalism, and misanthropy. The band released their debut promo EP, El Halo del Sol, in 2023, which included three original tracks alongside a cover of Slayer's "Sex, Murder, Art."

An El Paso black metal act formed in 2018, Pyre operates at the harsh, stripped-down end of the genre, conjuring cold and unrelenting tremolo-driven savagery from the Chihuahuan desert borderlands.
Bayonne, New Jersey's Pyre Fyre marries sludge metal's tar-thick heaviness to stoner metal's hazy, fuzz-soaked grooves, forming a swamp of heavy riffs and slow-burning momentum that leans hard into the oppressive and the hypnotic since their 2021 formation.
Psychedelic doom metal band from Glasgow, Scotland, formed in 2015, setting the world ablaze with hazy, heavy psychedelic doom. They bring cosmic visions and crushing weight to the Glasgow metal scene.
