ALLMUSIC.COM DECLARES PYRAMIDS/HORSEBACK “A THRONE WITHOUT A KING” THE “FIRST GREAT EXPERIMENTAL ALBUM OF 2012”. SO VERY HONORED.
The mighty Pitchfork reviews the new PYRAMIDS/HORSEBACK “A THRONE WITHOUT A KING” release. The review is a series of amazing one-liners, beginning with the first sentence: “If you thought Pyramids’ rapid-fire style-hopping, from trad doom metal crunch to post-rock’s technical ecstasy, was exhausting on their 2008 debut album, then prepare yourself for an almost hour-long collage that makes their old stuff seem downright uniform.”

LP / CD / CASSETTE AVAILABLE. HAPPY HUNTING.
SOME WORDS FROM THE PRESS:
“Truly a seminal work … Pyramids/Horseback’s creation is a near seem-less bonding of crackling, dystopian drone, and the reverb filled, melting-ice yawn of shoegaze.” (9/10) - Foxy Digitalis
“Both artists operate on a completely different level than their peers and are unique and exciting forces in the music world, and this collaboration is as golden as the album art.” - CVLT Nation
“The epic marriage between two of the world’s finest experimental entities … Neither Pyramids nor Horseback can disappoint.” - The Inarguable
”A Throne Without A King is a magnificent record. Not something for the squeamish, not something for the easily amused, but something for those who want to peer into the abyss and have a soundtrack to it.” - Crave Online
“A further abstraction of the more “out there” jazz, along the lines of Albert Ayler and Ornette Coleman (circa Free Jazz), but without any traditional instrumentation.” - Brainwashed

The long awaited PYRAMIDS / HORSEBACK epic split + collaboration has been finalized for a November release through Hydra Head Records. The original plan was to do a 7” for the split material, and a companion CD for the epic collaboration. That was prior to Aaron Turner adding a final air of magic to the epic, which has pushed it onto an LP, with the split material remaining on a 7”. A cassette with all of the material will also be available.
Look for the LP + 7” PYRAMIDS / HORSEBACK “A THRONE WITHOUT A KING” out on Hydra Head on Black Friday this November.
All parties have completed recording for the upcoming Hydra Head release that is both a split and collaboration between Pyramids and Horseback. The release will have two components: 7” featuring one track from each band, and a CD containing an epic collaboration of significant length where both bands play together. This release is currently being mastered by the Almighty James Plotkin.
