Pylon Releasing "A Lament"
Swiss doom metal outfit Pÿlon is very excited to announce the details of the band's 7th full-length release. Working again with U.S. label Roxx Records and European label Quam Libet Records, "A Lament" is scheduled for release on July 29th, 2016. Roxx Records also comments:
"In the two years since the release of 'Homo Homini Lupus,' Pÿlon have made no progress whatsoever – which is the greatest compliment you can give this Swiss band of doom stalwarts. Again, they have managed to capture that particular down-tuned- slow-because-I-can magic on 'A Lament' with eight brand new and epic tracks such as 'Desolation Is Divine' or 'Lazarus' but no less with more succinct numbers such as the paean to Clint Eastwood with the track 'The Lone Rider' in its seven-minute briskness.
"Back by popular demand is Matt Brand on Ozzy-tinged lead vocals. Ian Arkley does the honors of gracing the album with a majestic guitar solo on 'The Day After The War' whilst Damir Eskic, representing the top echelon of Swiss Malmsteen disciples, takes the speed up a notch with a roaring lead break on 'Desolation Is Divine.'
"This brand new album does it again, hitting a true home run for heavy metal fans and doom fans alike. This beautifully packaged Limited Edition digipack comes complete with a 12 page insert and complete lyrics enclosed."

Pylon To Release Deluxe Album
Roxx Records has checked in with the following announcement about releasing a deluxe edition of "The Harrowing of Hell" from Pÿlon:
"Roxx Records is excited to unleash upon the world the most thunderous DOOM metal release of 2013. Landing from Swiss metal powerhouse… Pÿlon. On June 11, 2013 be prepared for the arrival of the Doom metal album the world has been clamoring for.
"Pÿlon, hailing from Switzerland, have been garnering quite a bit of attention in the world of doom. The band has already successfully released 2 EPs and 4 full length albums independently. Their previous 3 albums combined to form a three part opus. The first part of the trilogy entitled The Eternal Wedding Band has been out of print for years, and as a commitment to their fans that purchased it, they have vowed never to repress it again. The second and third part of the trilogy, Doom and Armoury of God, are equally becoming harder and harder to find for doom fans worldwide.
"Now upon us is the band’s 5th full length release, and this new album may be the one that moves them to the head of the pack. In late 2012 this album was released as a Limited Edition vinyl version of only 300 copies and contained 7 tracks for those avid vinyl collectors. Now for the first time in a strictly Limited Edition pressing of 500 copies you can purchase an expanded CD version of… ‘The Harrowing of Hell!’ More...
