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.”

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.
