And the Black Pyramid trainwreck continues[views:6549][posts:60]______________________________________ [Jan 8,2013 12:24pm - Erroneus_BM ""] How does a band suddenly go from being the hippest band on the scene to the biggest joke in doom? I'd like to announce the formation of a new band called The Scimitar. It consists of myself and Gein from Black Pyramid as well as drummer Brian Banfield. Black Pyramid will be playing out much less in 2013, so Gein and I decided to start a new project. It will basically be just an extension of BP, same style of songwriting, same tunings, etc. We have two songs near completion, and we're working on a cover of Motorhead's "Metropolis". Black Pyramid isn't going anywhere, just think of The Scimitar as an extension of that band. We should be ready to play shows in March or April. - Darryl http://www.facebook.com/pages/Black-Pyramid/49292323952?fref=ts Why? Darryl is just on the cups of being an even more annoying outspoken frontman than Andy was. Just when you thought the credibility could not get any lower here's one more nail in the coffin of this band's legacy. |

| ________________________________ [Jan 8,2013 12:37pm - Spence ""] What's the point of forming a new band if it's going to be the same sound, style, etc.? Kind of silly. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 8,2013 12:42pm - nekronaut ""] Join a band and then you can talk. |

I'm not sticking up for Spence or directing this at you, but I just disagree. anyone could start a metal band, most of them don't need any talent whatsoever depending on the style. |

Yea I agree. I mean it's not like people who aren't in a band's opinions have NO bearing, but until you've actually had to deal with all the things that are involved with being a band, you don't really have much room to talk about much more than just the actual music. Like how someone with their own kids probably knows a bit more about how frustrating they can be than some babysitter. |

Agreed They were awesome. Past tense. Then Andy went off the deep end and left the band to live in a tent doing yoga with his rabbits or some weird bullshit and they replaced him with a fat old guy who can't sing and seems to be similarly unhinged mentally based on his constant online rants. They got a lot worse since. The other two guys are kind of douches with huge egos just not the same batshit insanity of the two guys who have fronted. |

| ________________________________ [Jan 8,2013 4:23pm - Simian ""] At least they finally changed the name because it is not the same band that made the classic albums so those who do expect BP style quality out of the music and performances are disappointed.
