Pyogenesis – Sweet X-Rated Nothings – Review

Pyogenesis

Sweet X-Rated Nothings (Relapse/Nuclear Blast)
by Scott Hefflon

If you were to combine the sensuality of Type O Negative with the roaring bloodlust of Swedish death metal, you might have a foothold on understanding Pyogenesis. The dark fantasy and doom melodies on Sweet X-Rated Nothings (Relapse/Nuclear Blast) have the catchiness of old Maiden tunes. When you put the monstrous growl over the top, the weak will turn away in disgust. Good. The die-hards that understand beauty and evil can be one and the same will be all that remain. Dark wave with nicely layered harmonies and enormous guitars make Pyogenesis a solid recommendation for those with an open mind and a wanderlust spirit.
