Canadian sludge/hardcore outfit Pyres have shared their “Some, Not All, Came Back” video, which can be seen below. The track comes by way of the band’s second full-length, Yun, set for release on March 7th via Hypaethral Records. The record marks their first new output in over a decade and serves as the followup to the band’s Year Of Sleep debut.
Comments vocalist/guitarist Andrew Wilson, “‘Some, Not All, Came Back’ is a sort of variation on and interpretation of the expression ‘the abyss gazes also.’ My late father, who was a fundamentally decent man, nevertheless had mental health issues that followed him through life and therefore have left their mark on me as well. The perspective being receiving a message from my father in the afterlife, warning me that his mania will come for me in the end as well.
“The title itself is meant to convey that as one travels through life and experiences traumatic moments, not all of the pieces that make up the whole person may remain intact. In other words, when we live through dark times, the darkness takes what it will, and only some parts of us ever really come back. The song reinforces one of the many ideas behind Yun, this concept of repressed emotions and ‘storing’ or ‘accumulating’ trauma.”
Yun was recorded, mixed, and produced with Greg Dawson at BWC Studios (Olde, Sons Of Otis, Panzerfaust) over the Winter and Spring of 2024, with percussion tracked by Simon Larochette at The Sugar Shack in London, Ontario. Mastering for the album was handled, to crushing effect, by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Sleep, YOB, Corrosion Of Conformity). The result showcases a band transformed. Pyres’ sound has evolved, embracing a broader palette that spans melodic sludge metal, hardcore, doom, grunge, and post-rock.
Pyres’ Yun will be released digitally and on digipack CD (limited to 300 copies) as well as vinyl in the following color variants: Shattered Bone (100 copies) and Black (100 copies). Pre-orders can be placed now via Hypaethral Records or Bandcamp.
