catching up with Pylar

DoC friends Pylar represent a new paradigm in heavy music - one which challenges preconceptions of what "metal" is. For a decade, their avant compositions have stretched into the realms of jazz, neo-classical, and experimental music while still maintaining roots in extreme doom and black metal. The Spanish band are about to release their eighth album Límyte through Cavsas/Cyclic Law, concluding a trilogy they began in 2019. Guitarist Bar-gal was kind enough to answer my questions.

282: Dylan Carlson

Dreams of Consciousness Podcast Episode 282 features an interview with Dylan Carlson of Earth.
