Canadian progressive metal quartet, Pyramid Theorem—bassist/vocalist Christian Di Mambro, keyboardist/guitarist/vocalist Stephan Di Mambro, percussionist Vito De Francesco, and lead guitarist/vocalist Sam Ermellini—have already established themselves as unquenchably imaginative, determined, and skillful on their first two full-length statements (2012’s eponymous debut and 2017’s Element of Surprise) and prior EPs. In fact, Edwin van Hoof of HeadBangers Lifestyle praised Pyramid Theorem as "perhaps one of the finest bands in progressive rock today," with other outlets—ProgArchives, Metal Kingdom, and Metal Music Archives—showering them with comparable praise.

As stellar as those records are, however, Pyramid Theorem’s latest collection, Beyond The Exosphere, surpasses them in every respect. Produced and engineered by Rich Chycki (who’s previously put his stamp on releases by Rush, Dream Theater, Aerosmith, Pink, and Def Leppard, among others), the five-song sequence sees the group setting new benchmarks for their ability to fuse impassioned and memorable songwriting with mind-blowingly sophisticated, diverse, and virtuosic arrangements. Beyond that, it flows as smoothly and sleekly as anything being made by their stylistic peers, further cementing why this third album should catapult Pyramid Theorem into the mind of every progressive metal aficionado.
