In honor of the 25th anniversary of System of the Animal, the current lineup of the Long Island-based metal outfit Pyrexia recently re-recorded the album. Production value also played a key role in the new version.
“I don’t think a lot of people were ready for such a mix of brutal death metal vs. beatdown hardcore,” guitarist Chris Basile wrote in a press release. “When people hear this material with the new production, combined with the fact that the music was written in the mid-90s. I think it puts Pyrexia in a whole new light for a lot of people.”
It’s anyone’s guess if other additions in Pyrexia’s discography will also get a new production makeover.
