==========================================================

Story Angles – Fun Facts:
1. Guitarist Chris Basile originally wrote this track in 1989 for the first band he was in Mortuary. The first people to play and perform this song were Terrence Hobbs, Mike Smith, and Doug Cerrito of the original Suffocation lineup while they were all in Mortuary together. It would later appear on the first recording of the album System of the Animal in 1997.

2. Lyric Video artwork was done by the same artist who did the âGravitas Maximusâ Â album cover Aarmada Art.

3. In 2018 Pyrexia pulled off the impossible. The band had a European tour and a US tour scheduled so close together that the tours overlapped for 5 shows. Rather than cancel any shows from either tour. Pyrexia Split itself in 2. Using past members and sessions musicians, Pyrexia played on 2 separate Continents simultaneously for 5 straight nights.

4. The âSystem of the Animal 25â layout for the CD and Vinyl was done by none other than Danny Nelson, singer of the New York band Malignancy.

5. 25-year anniversary of the original release.

Band formation: 1990 – present

Location: Long Island, New York

1987-1989: Chris Basile joins the band Mortuary along with Terrence Hobbs, Doug Cerrito, and Mike Smith, all of Suffocation. Together over 30 songs were written by the band and many of the songs and riffs written during this time appear on both Pyrexia and Suffocation’s early releases leading to many comparisons.

1990: Basile meets up with the four other original members Guy Marchais, Rob Shimonski, Daryl Wagner and Mike Andrejko, and Pyrexia is formed. They go on to release their 1991 demo Liturgy of Impurity and later the classic 1993 Full-length Sermon of Mockery, cementing their place in the anoles of Death Metal history……

Pyrexia continued to release one seminal release after another including their 1997 “System of the Animal”, and even teaming up with Trevor Peres of Obituary in 1999 to form the band “Catastrophic” which went on to release their debut album on Metal Blade records.

In 2007 the band signed with Unique Leader Records and began an extensive campaign of touring and performing both in America and overseas in support of the next three albums released under the UL moniker that continues today.

With the addition of Gravitas Entertainment and Management as full-time management for the band, the schedule and team in place for 2023 have the band set for new heights…..
