An Excellent Servant But a Terrible Master is the debut full length album of New York's technical death metal band PYRRHON.
The album is a nightmarish blend of clanging death metal with surreal psychedelic elements, jazz rhythms, and delirious storytelling. The material was recorded and mixed by Dan Pilla at Bad Lab Studios in Tabernacle, NJ and mastered by Colin Marston (GORGUTS, DYSRHYTHMIA, KRALLICE) at The Thousand Caves Studios in Queens, NY. The cover art and layout were created by Caroline Harrison.
This 8-song CD will definitely appeal to fans of GORGUTS, ULCERATE, MESHUGGAH, DEATH, MISERY INDEX, SUFFOCATION, ATHEIST as well as DEATHSPELL OMEGA, KRALLICE.
