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 stretching 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.

an interview with Orthodox

The Spanish doom cult that calls itself Orthodox are anything but: Eschewing traditional song structures, the trio frequently employ a variety of instruments in compositions that regularly stretch past the 10 minute mark. Their latest album Proceed was released back in June; guitarist Ricardo Jimenez Gómez was kind enough to answer my questions about the group's history and songwriting.
