Pyramids

Pyramids is a Texas-based experimental music project known for weaving dense, atmospheric soundscapes that blur the lines between shoegaze, black metal, and ambient noise. Formed in the mid-2000s, the band’s ever-shifting lineup (often anchored by R. Loren) embraces collaboration, working with artists like Nadja and Mamiffer to create haunting, genre-defying works. Their releases, from their self-titled 2008 debut to recent splits and albums like *A Northern Meadow* (2015), feel like immersive sonic collages—layered with distortion, ethereal vocals, and a cinematic sense of unease.

While Pyramids’ music can feel abstract and otherworldly, their live performances and visual art (often crafted by Loren’s Sacred Bones Records imprint) add a visceral, tactile dimension to their mystique. Tracks like *Bones and Eggshells* and *Fools Gold* showcase their knack for balancing chaos with beauty, making them a cult favorite for listeners who crave music that’s as challenging as it is emotionally resonant.
