PROFOUND LORE RECORDS, aka utopia, has announced the release of the forthcoming PYRAMIDS "A NORTHERN MEADOW" CD/LP, MARCH 17, 2015. Cover photo by Scout Pare Phillips. Though this follows five releases on Hydra Head Records, along with the 5xCS box on Small Doses and the Wraiths collaboration on Aurora Borealis, this is only the second proper full length since our 2008 Hydra Head debut. Black Horizons will be releasing the cassette edition of "A NORTHERN MEADOW", more on that soon...

2014 TSOAF tour, outside of House of Blues Boston, in the bus. The only video interview in existence with Anthony Green and I about this project.
