The band have also released their new album last month. Guitarist Chris Basile explains the refreshed sound of System of The Animal:
“The biggest thing over the past couple of albums is the jump in production and the main thing the band suffered from in the past was production value. The songs can be felt in the chest, and the riffs can finally be heard with this newly recorded version of System of the Animal. I also felt it was ahead of its time in 1997. I don’t think a lot of people were ready for such a mix of brutal death metal vs. beatdown hardcore. When people hear this material with the new production, combined with the fact that the music was written in the mid-90s, I think it puts Pyrexia in a whole new light for a lot of people. I think the songwriting is really going to stand out for listeners bored with bands that put out the same album over and over.”
According to the press release:
“Hitting the road this coming August for 10 dates across the U.S. East Coast with Animals Killing People, Atoll (Unique Leader), Reeking Aura (Parasitic Records), Pyrexia wants those who know them and the next generation of pit brawlers to brace themselves for their new unforgiving music video ‘Day One.'”
Watch and listen to “Day One” on YouTube:
The band share their thoughts on the video:
“We didn’t want to do the typical serial killer or running through the woods death metal video. I think we took it to the next level production-wise. Think ‘Training Day’ meets Grand Theft Auto.’ Be offended.”
The new album System of the Animal 25 was released on June 6 and is available via the band’s label Gravitas Entertainment.
