With Delyrio, Spanish speculative metal entity PYLAR returns to further expand its singular body of chrono-irrational sonic artefacts. Conceived as the opening movement of the band’s final album cycle, Delyrio pushes deeper into a fractured realm where metaphysical inquiry, delirium, and sonic extremity converge.
Having previously descended into vast territories of cosmic horror and existential collapse, PYLAR now abandons all remaining certainties in favor of pure delirious propulsion. The result is a work driven by dislocation and irrational intensity, where time, identity, and structure dissolve into a constantly shifting hallucination.
Operating as speculative agents and symbolic detonators, the members of PYLAR manipulate and deform the primordial language of metal through what they describe as the “Law of Salazar”, a mechanism of radical perspectival displacement. Their vision further absorbs conceptual fragments drawn from philosophical fiction, speculative realism, and the experimental thought of figures such as Reza Negarestani, Amy Ireland, and the chaotic theoretical currents of Cybernetic Culture Research Unit.
Across the album, Delyrio unfolds as a dark rhizomatic structure, weaving together fragments of extreme music traditions into a dense and hallucinatory sonic architecture. Layers of sound collide and mutate continuously, creating an unstable and extravagant continuum where ritualistic weight, psychedelic dissolution, and industrial unease coexist.
Echoes of Swans, Oranssi Pazuzu, and Teitanblood may surface momentarily throughout the album, yet PYLAR reshapes these spectral influences into something entirely its own: a vortex of speculative metal alchemy operating beyond convention and genre boundaries.
With Delyrio, PYLAR delivers one of its most uncompromising and conceptually immersive works to date, an album where delirium itself becomes both method and destination.

Absolutely unhinged. Always on the verge of of going insane. Ritualistic, then deranged, then cathartic, only to start the cycle over again. Unlike anything else. AOTY. Eekhoorntjesbrood
Pretty much fan of every band these guys are in. You never know what you're going to get, but you know it'll be good. Dark, ambient, fast, slow, grinding death metal. Sean TPLTR
An album that sounds as if it was forged within a dying star. Scorching, Soul piercing, and disorienting riffs. The drums are fucking excellent as well 10/10 album for me tornfromabyss
