Pyromesh

.Pyromesh are an aurally intense metal band hailing from the desolate streets of Perth, Australia that craft a highly unique sound best described as both melodic and abrasive, blistering and serene, epic and progressive. They combine a double-guitar attack with authoritative bass, vicious drumming, acidic vocals and wall-of-sound song composition to create music that must be heard to be believed.
Pyromesh have been metal heavyweights since their emphatic launch into the scene in late 2001 due to their huge sound supported by a chaotic and energetic stage show. Hard choices, lineup shuffles and a thirst for success has seen Pyromesh evolve into the grinding and resilient machine that it is today.
Their debut album, Omnia, features eight tracks comprising a 45 minute journey into the realms of chaos, destruction and apathy. Meticulously produced to an international standard, Omnia is a rich and textural album that reveals something new on each spin as the listener travels through the many layers of instrumentation and orchestration. Finely packaged in a lavishly illustrated fold-out case and accompanying booklet, Omnia is a must have album for the metal enthusiast and music-lover alike

"Pyromesh have been gigging for almost a decade now, and though they're no longer as thin as the prodigies they had to follow, their accessible crowd rapport and professionalism are welcome compensations. It can start with something as simple as knowing whose show it is (unlike openers Prana Fire whose frontman mistakenly referred to "our gig") and giving props to your fellow bands, which is what they did, igniting a round of applause for each of them. Musically, Pyromesh is a known quantity. Most of Perth's metal fans know what they do, which usually involves a hefty dose of double-kick drums, shouting and agile riffing. They did it well here, and could've taught Arturo Chaos a lesson or two, had the latter not absconded soon after packing up. Their throat artiste Ael Bennett is the consummate metal frontman. He operates with the mad ringcraft of pro wrestler on a rampage. He also communicates with the punters, rather than just his own dark side. Some vocalists isolate themselves even though they're standing front and centre. They have the growl, the moves and the menace, but don't look you in the eye or feel comfortable between songs. Bennett matches the intensity with an openness and ease."

"Now unleash Pyromesh.
The five-piece, playing with a new drummer after being fairly quiet in 2008, soon show they've lost none of their fire. They're heavy and play with conviction, crushing the laid back atmosphere of the Hydey with tracks from their debut Omnia as well as some new material. With a new recording on the way, we're sure to hear more from these guys in 2009."

".all jet-engine firebombs of destruction glued together by melodic intuition and musicianship."
- Brett Ladhams, Xpress Magazine.
"The world stage is very accepting of Australian bands these days - heavy ones especially. Pyromesh give off the distinct vibe that they are aiming for this very accomplishment. If Year Of The Phoenix [single] is any indication of their seriousness in wanting to achieve it, then there is little one can imagine standing in their way."
- Mike Wafer, Xpress Magazine.
"Pyromesh promise to be leading lights in the Australian metal scene".
- Asher, Earachemyeye Radio, 2NIMFM.
".waiting for the next capable outfit can at times be tough, so tough in fact that some impatient folk can't be fucked waiting. folk like Pyromesh."
- Grant McCulloch, Xpress Magazine.
"the determination and the commitment shown by the band during what must have been a patience-testing time is testament to how far they're willing to go to keep the fires burning."
- Mike Wafer, Xpress Magazine.
".[Omnia] is a CD that anyone who'll give a metal CD a chance SHOULD listen to.This was everything, that you'd want in a metal record: speed, skill and shit hot production. I enjoyed this album for the sonic experience alone. Then for the skill in involved in the songs. and finally the pure agression fired at you in controlled spurts. This is the best and most listenable Perth metal album I've ever heard."
- Gavin Crossley, perthbands.com
"'Omnia' is the debut album from Perth five-piece metal band, Pyromesh. From the outset, the album is a wall-of-sound assault. Relentless, pounding double-kick, abrasive guitars and searing, screamo-vocals are the foundation, with electronic flourishes and atmospheric detours completing the picture. The production is of a high standard, in both the sound and the absolutely gorgeous artwork and matte digipack presentation. With a debut as good as this, Pyromesh are destined for great things."
- Scene Magazine, QLD
"Perth lads, Pyromesh have delivered output worthy of worldwide release on their debut 'Omnia'. [.] Their willingness to experiment and eschew traditional song structures is engaging, and keeps the listener guessing and never feeling bored. It's heavy, but also atmospheric and dynamic, characteristics often lacking in extreme bands. [.] Omnia shows a band with great promise, who only get better from what is already a solid starting point."
- Rod Whitfield, Buzz Magazine, VIC
"It may have taken Pyromesh a long time to finally get things off the ground, but with the end result being Omnia, there's no denying that the time spent has well and truly worked in the band's favour."
