About
Starlit Pyre is a Melodic Death Metal quintet from Bordeaux, France. The group was formed in early 2024 by former guitarist and co-founder of the band Temnein, along with members of the bands Theorem, Bloody Rabbeat, Silicium, Praetorian and Faded Echoes. Drawing from the classics of its genre – At The Gates, Dark Tranquillity, Soilwork, In Flames –, they also get their influences from more modern formations like Orbit Culture, Sylosis, and Darkest Hour. Their debut EP, Veins of Sulfur, is out since July 11th, 2025. The record was mixed and mastered at Conkrete Studio (The Great Old Ones, Eryn Non Dae...), with drums recorded at Bud Studio (Gorod, Ad Patres...). All visuals were crafted by Ani Artworks, picturing the mythological and apocalyptical universe that can be found in the lyrics. The EP gained many good reviews in the press: Rock Hard France (7,5/10), Rock Tribune (7/10), Legacy, Dead Rhetoric (8/10), PowerMetalDE (7,5/10), Eklektik-Rock and more…
