Biography
Although
only recently realized, the music and vision of PYRE was first
conceived in the spring of 1997 by Raum (guitar/vocals). His goal was
to create varied and interesting, yet dark guitar-based black metal.
Raum soon began collaborating with long-time friend Atridiel
(guitar), composing the first PYRE songs. Despite not having members
to fill drummer/bass positions, the pair honed the new songs to
perfection. Atridiel departed for Germany in summer 1998, leaving
Raum to continue alone.
Fortunately, setback met with progress
when drummer Megiddo joined the fray at the end of the year. Megiddo
not only added a powerful new dimension with his hard-hitting death
metal playing style, but also helped with song arrangement and ideas.
Raum and Megiddo rehearsed whenever possible during 1999, with the
goal of finding a bass player and entering the studio. Carnivean
joined on bass guitar in the winter of 1999, solidifying the
line-up.
After 3 years of setbacks and difficulty, the trio
entered Black Thaumaturge Studio in April 2000 and recorded the
4-song demo, `Luciferian Dark Age`. The demo met with with much
worldwide acclaim, earning praise for it's ancient sound and
tenebrous fire. In 2001, "Luciferian Dark Age" was re-
issued on vinyl as a split with Satanic German warriors, Darkened
Nocturn Slaughtercult. Released by Italy's Black Blood Productions in
a limited pressing of 666 copies, the LP is now ravaging the world
with the combined savagery of these two Black Metal
divisions.
Songwriting continued, despite Carnivean's subsequent
disappearance from the band. Lecher later joined on session bass, and
the trio recorded their latest release in April 2002, tenatively
titled, "Behold A Pale Horse". This release is including 9
songs, and see the dark of day via Black Blood Productions. The new
material has all the tempos and moods PYRE is known for, from
cataclysmic black speed to desperate moments of epic miserableness.
Now thet the world-ending release of "Behold A Pale Horse"
