Over the past thirty-five years, progressive metal has become one of the most creative and ambitiously saturated subgenres in modern music. Although countless acts emerge every year to take their shot at being the next Rush, Queensrÿche, Opeth, or Tool, few possess the essential blend of enthusiasm, personality, and craftsmanship to deserve such a stature.
Canadian quartet Pyramid Theorem is an exception to that norm. Founded in the late 2000s, the band—bassist/vocalist Christian Di Mambro, keyboardist/guitarist/vocalist Stephan Di Mambro, percussionist Vito De Francesco, and lead guitaris ...read more
Over the past thirty-five years, progressive metal has become one of the most creative and ambitiously saturated subgenres in modern music. Although countless acts emerge every year to take their shot at being the next Rush, Queensrÿche, Opeth, or Tool, few possess the essential blend of enthusiasm, personality, and craftsmanship to deserve such a stature.
Canadian quartet Pyramid Theorem is an exception to that norm. Founded in the late 2000s, the band—bassist/vocalist Christian Di Mambro, keyboardist/guitarist/vocalist Stephan Di Mambro, percussionist Vito De Francesco, and lead guitarist/vocalist Sam Ermellini— established itself as unquenchably imaginative, determined, and skillful on its first two full-length statements (2012’s eponymous debut and 2017’s Element of Surprise) and prior EP.
As stellar as those records are, however, Pyramid Theorem’s latest collection, Beyond The Exosphere, surpasses them in every respect. Produced and engineered by Rich Chycki (Rush, Dream Theater, Aerosmith, and Pink, among others), the album sees the group setting new benchmarks for its ability to fuse impassioned and memorable songwriting with sophisticated, diverse, and virtuosic arrangements. It flows as smoothly as anything being made by their stylistic peers, further cementing why this third album should catapult Pyramid Theorem into the mind of every progressive metal aficionado.
