Track By Tracks: Pythonic - EP1 (2024)

The EP as a whole (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY)

Lyrically this album reflects on the massive displacement of hate in the world and the need to shift into a state of love. Basically, we can see the bullshit and we will not allow it to penetrate into our hearts and minds. This music is our shield against those low vibratory forces.

Musically I would say this EP comes from the heart a lot of the songs came to be very naturally. The songs are all a few years old now with the exception of a few parts in songs. A lot of these songs were written when most of the band was coming into themselves as musicians and we all had a strong push to be better than we were before. It just kind of worked out that most of the songs fit sort of thematically and riff-wise as well nothing is too far outside of each other but still distinct enough to know it is a different song

Track by Track (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY)

Positive Deconstruction - musically this song always came across as a little more on the greasy end. The verse riff just gets bouncy and slidey. Our original drummer wanted blasts in the second half of the chorus riff but it sounded way better when we recorded the drums that we did. The ending breakdown, although repetitive yet heavy, has the monotony broken up by a sick guitar solo headed by Ryan.

Lyrically - societal collapse for a better future for humankind

Love H8 musically came out exactly as we needed it to as a sick thrash song. The idea behind the track was to get people to move and it does just that while played live.

Lyrically - challenges of a relationship

Pills musically was written fairly quickly while at band practice. Vince had the main chorus riff ready to go and the rest just sort of followed. The song has some bigger tempo changes that help to synthesize the feelings of being on pills while listening. The ups and downs of addiction.

Lyrically - medications pollute the body

Practice What You Preach was written while guitar player Vincent was listening to a fair bit of Nile so some slight Egyptian-esque sounds definitely come out in the riffs. This song has a fairly big emphasis on the harmonies thrown together within the track. This song came out a fair bit slower than the rest of the songs but it's a good reprieve with some great riffs.

Lyrically - inner turmoil of growth

Epica is meant to be triumphant and powerful. It is a song about standing up for what you believe in and challenging the status quo. I believe it is portrayed very well within the riffs and lyrics

Lyrically - the illusion of freedom
