The Mother Of Virtues opens with instantaneous chaos. Dissonant Gorguts-like riffing cuts into your flesh and the vocals salt your wounds. The weight of the shadow cast by the colossal music bears down upon you with malicious intent, enshrouding you in a schizophrenic-feeling storm.

Completely devoid of the pleasant nature in traditional harmonies and melodies, the guitars tend towards layers of conflicting chords that either ring out or berate your soon-to-be-broken ear drums with rapid staccato notation. The riffs can best be described as grating, and at times seem to wander aimlessly through bleak fields of destruction. Pyrrhon's music sometimes comes to an intersection between experimentation and jamming, where each little phrase is evocative of a different influence (ranging from Oranssi Pazuzu to Khanate).

Crushing and frenetic technical dissonance. I loved the the Atheist-esque vocals - it's not something you hear often. Unfortunately, I found that the overall songwriting lacked coherence. Definitely looking forward to whatever these guys have in store for us later.

One hell of an intimidating release.The connections with early Imperial Triumphant make a lot of sense but there is much more to dive in. There is mostly death, sludge and -core on this thing but overall it is hard to categorize. Crazy dissonant stuff.
