PYREXIA from New York is another technical Death Metal outfit, that unfortunately perished in the mass of releases back in the 90s, even though their debut release "Sermon Of Mockery" was quite a good album. Surely even back in 1993, the band had not invented anything new and showed themselves obviously influenced by bands like SUFFOCATION or even older CANNIBAL CORPSE. Their brutal and technical Death Metal comes up with proper and technical drumming, with precise and pounding double-bass and snare and high-hat attacks. Similarities to above mentioned influences come up in form of the grunted vocal style, changes in speed and the mass of breaks. The technical guitars deliver a similar quality like the old SUFFOCATION releases and this seems to be the work of guitarist Guy Marchais, who played in SUFFOCATION before PYREXIA and later again in SUFFOCATION. the material is really fine and complex and the mixture between the technical drums, fine technical guitars, with powerful chords and solos and the deep grunts are really enjoyable, even many years after its original release.
