While with this release the current chapter of Sunn O))) comes to a close, it’ll be interesting to see what their next evolutionary step is. Naturally, most of us will want to take that step into an unknown future with them

Under The Radar
Pyroclasts is a sharp reminder that Sunn O))) can go deep but is nowhere near the bottom of their creative well. Just the opposite; Pyroclasts sounds like a new light breaking forth from below

Uncut
The results may comprise the most finely distilled example of Stephen O'Malley and Greg Anderson's deconstruction of heavy riffage, with each of these tracks demonstrating the infinite varieties of fuzz and rumble that exist within a single mighty note. Print edition only

Their second album of the year, an accompanying body of work to the wondrous Life Metal, Pyroclasts is possibly the record that is the purest manifestation of Sunn O)))'s longstanding mantra: "maximum volume yields maximum results"

No Ripcord
It's necessary to note that Pyroclasts, their second full-length album in 2019, is essentially a practice session disguised as a cleverly-packaged companion piece
