Obsidian Arc

by PILLORIAN

supported by

Matthew Toye Disclaimer: Pillorian isn't Agalloch. This is a completely different beast. Obsidian is the perfect shade of darkness to describe this. It's not black metal per se, but this has more nuance and very rich song writing. Favorite track: Forged Iron Crucible.

Glitzy Límon Righteous, furious melodic black metal. A solid debit album from the ashes of one of the greatest folk/black metal scene, Agalloch. Blazing riffs, emotional peaks, soft interludes, a great listen. Favorite track: Archaen Divinity.

Panagiotis Krokidas Nothing less than intriguing. Mister Haughm constructs a slightly darker, more black-focused piece of art, than Agaloch's folkier black/grey sound.
I am a fan of his work and I can say he delivered once more. Fans of black metal will find here some of the most well conceived music of the genre for 2017.

about

PILLORIAN WILL MAKE THEIR DARK ARTS KNOWN WITH
‘OBSIDIAN ARC‘.

Pillorian was formed in early Summer of 2016 by Stephen Parker (Maestus, ex-Arkhum), John Haughm (ex-Agalloch), and Trevor Matthews (Uada, ex-Infernus) with the goal to create a unique, sinister, and twisted style of dark/black metal.

Pillorian adj.- of, or relating to, scorn and condemnation.

Fusing haunting melodies with avantgarde structures, dark folk elements and blackened walls of furious sound; the music of Pillorian is the perfect aural definition of its namesake.

In support of this debut album, the official advance album single with exclusive b-side is set to be released February 10th , as 7" Vinyl & Digital.

Pillorian will be touring across Europe to promote their album in April 2017. Their road map includes confirmed appearances at Inferno Festival (Norway), Roadburn (Netherlands), SWR Metalfest (Portugal) and Dark Easter Metal Meeting (Germany) among others.
