—CANADIAN-BASED PROGRESSIVE METAL BAND—
RELEASE “CLOSER TO THE END”
NEW ALBUM
BEYOND THE EXOSPHERE
OUT FRIDAY, AUGUST 21
NASHVILLE, TN (July 17, 2020) — Canadian-based progressive metal band Pyramid Theorem have released the sophomore single, “Closer To The End,” from their forthcoming Beyond The Exosphere album. Produced and engineered by Rich Chycki (who’s previously put his stamp on releases by Rush, Dream Theater, Aerosmith, Pink, and Def Leppard, among others), the five-song sequence is out Friday, August 21.
Founded in the late 2000s, the band—bassist/vocalist Christian Di Mambro, keyboardist/guitarist/vocalist Stephan Di Mambro, percussionist Vito De Francesco, and lead guitarist/vocalist Sam Ermellini—have already established themselves as unquenchably imaginative, determined, and skillful on their first two full-length statements (2012’s eponymous debut and 2017’s Element of Surprise) and prior EPs. As stellar as those records are, however, Pyramid Theorem’s forthcoming collection, Beyond The Exosphere, surpasses them in every respect.
Last month, Metal Injection writer Jordan Blum raved that the album’s lead single, “Freedom,” “evokes the menacing fury of Symphony X, but with the melodic wisdom of, say, King’s X and Jolly. It’s a concise yet dense composition brimming with catchy confidence and endlessly engaging instrumentation (such as stately bells and fiery guitarwork). It’s perhaps the most direct and accessible track on Beyond the Exosphere, too, so it’s a great way to get a taste of how ambitious and multifaceted the entire sequence is.”
Track listing for Beyond The Exosphere:
“Beyond The Exosphere” (17:53)
“Under Control” (4:48)
