PYRAMIDO

Saga

LP



Pyramido from Sweden quickly rose up, from its acclaimed debut ‘Sand’ to its sublime follow-up album ‘Salt’, this band just kept on getting better, until it reached its pinnacle on ‘Saga’. I’ll explain – the debut was a massive slab of Sludge/Doom but nothing out of the ordinary, apart from kicking your balls. The follow-up album marked a divergence from the Stoner influences to something more gritty and Hardcore-influenced, and Sweden is a hotspot for that. It may be intentional, may be not. Where this style is concerned, the less Stoner stuff the better, since there are enough bands playing in that vein. What’s not so popular is extreme music, a mingling of Doom-driven Hardcore Sludge.
