More Info

"Pyramids With Nadja ist der groß angelegte Zusammenschluss der US-amerikanischen Post-Rock-Ambient-Metaller Pyramids, dem kanadischen Doom-Duo Nadja (Aidan Baker und Leah Buckareff) und einer Anzahl anderer etablierter Musiker. Die Instrumentierung mag man als energetischen Ambient bezeichnen, mit einem Ohr für intelligenten Avantgarde-Metal und einer kaum wahrnehmbaren, aber sehr wirkungsvollen
Popsensibilität. Über vier Stücke verbindet sich Nadjas fast schon romantischer Shoegazer-Metal auf höchst beunruhigende Weise mit der eisernen Wall of Sound der Pyramids. Außerdem mit dabei: der Bassist Simon
Raymonde (Cocteau Twins, This Mortal Coil) und als Gaststimmen Albin Julius (Der Blutharsch) und Chris Simpson (Mineral). "Kurz gesagt: Es gibt da draußen keine Musik, die ähnlich ist", staunte "allmusic.com".// This guy, Pyramids With Nadja, is like a massive collaborative effort between Pyramids, Nadja and a number of otherwise established musicians. His instrumentation might be described as an energized ambient, infused with an intelligent ear for avant-garde metal and an almost indiscernible adherence to a sort of pop sensibility. PWN is the kinda guy who would successfully meld the still unparalleled compositional methodology developed in Pyramids' s/t album with Nadja's trademarked dirge-like shoegaze on a record and then chalk up the favorable outcome to the fact that all members of Pyramids (f. coloccia, m. dean, m. kraig, r. loren, d. william) and Nadja (Aidan Baker & Leah Buckereff) perform on all four tracks on the record. And his friends... His friends are all well-known artists, such as: Simon Raymonde of Cocteau Twins and This Mortal Coil (performs bass on track one and four), Albin Julius of Der Blutharsch (performs vocals on track four), Chris Simpson of Mineral (performs vocals on track two), Colin Marston of Dysrhythmia and Behold the Arctopus (coproduced/ engineered track one) and James Plotkin of Khanate, Khlyst, O.L.D., Phantomsmasher (mixed and mastered the entire album)."
