After a five-year hiatus, French blackened hardcore pioneers Pyrecult are back with a vengeance. The band has unveiled their crushing new single, “Chains,” the lead track from their upcoming EP Voluntary Serfdom. With a reinvigorated lineup and a return to their hardcore roots, Pyrecult is set to reclaim their place at the forefront of the extreme music scene.
“Chains” dives deep into the themes that have defined Pyrecult since their inception in 2013: global mind control, human decadence, and societal collapse. The single showcases a blistering blend of black metal’s eerie atmospherics and hardcore punk’s unrelenting aggression. Thunderous percussion, razor-sharp guitar riffs, and gritty, defiant vocals collide in a maelstrom of raw power, delivering a sound that’s as cathartic as it is intense.
The Band’s Legacy and Evolution
Formed in the gritty heart of Paris, Pyrecult emerged in 2013 from members of notable bands like Providence, Wolfpack, MPO, and Spitfight. Over the years, they have carved out a unique space in the metal scene, fusing the oppressive darkness of black metal with the raw energy of hardcore punk. Their music embodies a visceral journey into existentialism, rebellion, and the depths of human emotion.
Touring and Upcoming Performances
With “Chains” setting the stage, Pyrecult is already back on the road, bringing their punishing live show across Europe. Upcoming tour stops include France, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Switzerland, Belgium, and Austria. The band will also perform at the legendary Hellfest, solidifying their return to the extreme music spotlight.
Where to Hear “Chains”
“Chains” is now available for streaming and download on all major platforms. The Voluntary Serfdom EP will follow shortly, promising to deliver more of the unrelenting intensity that fans have come to expect from Pyrecult.
