Mixing influences and styles, Asylum Pyre can't be shut in a closed and predefined universe. From Speed Metal to Progressive, passing through Lyrical or ambient metal, Asylum Pyre draws elements from multiple genres so as to create its own identity. This band's trademark is to build songs around catchy melodies and rhythms breaks that alternate quiet parts and powerful tempos. The result is both swinging and poignancy for one of the force of Asylum Pyre lays in the messages expressed in its songs.
All the tracks are then well thought and offer a succession of simples and complexes parts, where melodies and lyrics, sung by the original voices of Carole and Johann, carry senseful messages all the way through.
1st album "Natural Instinct?" in September 2009, recorded at the Studio Ste Marthe (Paris)

Mélangeant les influences et les styles, Asylum Pyre ne se classe pas dans un univers fermé et prédéfini. Du speed-métal au heavy progressif en passant par le métal lyrique, il puise dans de multiples genres pour créer sa patte propre. Il se démarque par ses mélodies accrocheuses et ses changements de rythmes alternant moments calmes et tempos puissants et dynamiques. Le résultat est tout à la fois entraînant et émouvant car une des forces du groupe réside dans les messages qu’il distille dans ses morceaux.
Les titres sont donc mûrement réfléchis, faisant se succéder passages simples et complexes, avec toujours le souci de retranscrire dans les mélodies un message porteur de sens véhiculé par les voix de Carole et Johann, originales et hors des sentiers battus.
Sortie du premier album "Natural Instinct?" en Septembre 2009, enregistré aux Studios Ste Marthe (Paris)
