The Review:
Pyreship are set to make a big
impression on the heavy landscape with their smouldering debut LP “The Liars Bend Low”. The Houston
“Gravity” opens the show in grand
fashion, a seven minute epic that takes the highlights of Baroness’ “Red” and mixes in the essence of Alice In Chains and Soundgarden
to great effect. Vocals are used sparingly on “Machine Man” to make room for samples of Charlie Chaplin’s speech
from “The Great Dictator”. The
stirring words sit well within the build and release dynamics of the track and
are sadly as relevant to the sorry state of the world now as they were in 1940.
As “The Liars Bend Low” progresses the music
grows darker and heavier culminating in the awesome “Die-Sect”. An eerie sample from Twin Peaks
sets the scene for a brooding intro that recalls the subdued power
of Kowloon
Walled City. The sparse clean guitar lines soon give way to crushing
riffs that still maintain the haunting grandeur of the quieter passages.
Although
there are obvious influences to Pyreship’s sound, the band inject enough of
their own personality and imbue these songs with a hefty emotional weight that
makes them stand out from the crowd. “The Liars Bend Low” is a debut brimming
with potential for a glowing future.
