catching up with Pylar (2026)

Pylar are a Spanish collective who boldly challenge the norms of underground metal through experimentation and improvisation. Their most recent album Delyrio represents the end of one era for them, and the beginning of the next. Guitarist Bar-gal was kind enough to answer my questions.
