Saskatoon, Canada’s rising metal force, Pythonic, has announced the release of their first single, “Guiltfeeder”, a blistering preview of their highly anticipated sophomore EP, “Decomposition,” set to drop on December 19, 2025.

“The intro riff just makes it the perfect fit for the lead spot. The sick new lyrics tell of backstabbing friends, the emotional toll it causes, and the unmasking of those backstabbers. A story most people can relate to. The ending of the song definitely is the best part, though. You have the grouped up vocals that transition right into Ryan’s solo. That solo is so masterfully clean you’ll want to just keep replaying it. You also have the rhythm behind it all, which just keeps your head bobbing along. Mix it all together and you’ve got a certifiable banger on your hands,” the band adds.

Pythonic’s forthcoming EP “Decomposition” marks a bold step into heavier, death‑metal territory, pushing the band’s sound to new extremes. The tracks have been “decomposed”, stripped down, sharpened, and rebuilt to spotlight the commanding presence of new vocalist Morgan Warriner and the band’s refined direction. Songs like “Liturgy” showcase their intensified death metal edge, while “Pills” captures Warriner’s versatility as he shifts seamlessly from frantic cadences to bone‑chilling screams. By breathing new life into older material, “Decomposition” revitalizes Pythonic’s catalogue, transforming solid songs into devastating anthems. With Warriner’s guttural power, Max Hiske’s thunderous bass, and Jayden’s relentless drumming, the band reaches its tightest and most ferocious form yet. Mixed and mastered by Reid Paraszczynec of Lucid Distortion Audio, the EP strikes the perfect balance between raw aggression and polished production, delivering a true sonic onslaught.

“These songs needed their fair chance, and Morgan has given them that through his vocal performance. Reid’s mixing brought the next chapter of Pythonic to life the right way,” says guitarist Vincent Kohut.

Lyrically, “Decomposition” explores themes of corruption, drug addiction, toxic relationships, and summoning the devil. Written primarily by Warriner, with contributions from former bassist Alex Conley, the lyrics are raw, personal, and vividly dark.

The EP artwork, created by Danya Lawton, continues the visual legacy of Pythonic’s debut release. Lawton “decayed” the original design with authentic mushroom imagery and a haunting central eye, symbolizing the band’s transformation and heavier direction.

The band will also celebrate the EP with two major live appearances: opening for Canadian metal legends Into Eternity on November 21st at Black Cat Tavern in Saskatoon, and storming the stage at Slaughterfest in Edmonton on December 6th at The Starlite Room.

Upcoming Shows:
Nov 21, 2025 – Saskatoon, SK – Black Cat Tavern (w/ Into Eternity)
Dec 6, 2025 – Edmonton, AB – Starlite Room – Slaughterfest (w/ Display of Decay, Brain Stem, Ages of Ashes, A Modern Prometheus, Cell) – info

Recommended for fans of Lamb of God, Morbid Angel, Devildriver, and Black Dahlia Murder, “Decomposition” will be available on digital platforms on December 19, 2025.

About: Born in Saskatoon, SK, Pythonic is a death‑groove metal powerhouse that fuses the ferocity of Lamb of God, Black Dahlia Murder, and Cryptopsy with its own raw, uncompromising vision. Conceived by guitarist Vincent Kohut as a project free from subgenre boundaries, the band embraces the philosophy that “metal is metal.” Together with lead guitarist Ryan Hunter, Kohut carved out a sound that is aggressive, groovy, thick, and unapologetically dirty, a sonic identity that refuses to be confined. The addition of Morgan Warriner on vocals and Max Hiske on bass has solidified Pythonic’s most devastating lineup to date. Warriner’s guttural range, soaring highs, and earth‑shaking lows has been praised as transformative, while Hiske’s thunderous bass lines add depth and weight to every track. Anchored by Jayden’s relentless drumming, the band operates as a tightly locked unit, delivering a crushing live experience.

-30-

““EP 1” is a testament to Pythonic‘s dedication to their craft and their refusal to be confined by sub-genre limitations. Each song is a blend of technical prowess and raw emotion, offering listeners a chance to experience the full spectrum of the band’s capabilities. It is recommended for fans of Machine Head, Trivium and Pantera.” – Metal-Rules (EP01 – 2024)

“Pythonic comes from Canada with ‘Epica’, a track that features fast-paced guitar riffs, heavy drums and an engaging, torn vocal that delivers to listeners the essence of metal and subverts such as alternative, thrash and even melodic, being perfect to the circle and not to leave anyone standing still.” – Os Garot Os Deliverpool (EP01 – 2024)

“Overall I’m a pretty big fan of this record. If you want something that sounds maybe like an Anthrax or a Slayer record then you really want to check this out. The most dynamic and unique part of this EP, in particular is the vocals are double-tracked and they’re very high in the mix which is something that is somewhat different than a lot of the other metal releases this year which I greatly appreciate. If you want something that has a lot of the thrash guitar element then you’re really going to want to check this out. The guitar and drum parts are fantastic, they really keep the songs very tight even though the vocals are very in your face and they’re usually the the first thing that you would notice with this kind of record but overall this is very strong.” – Brutally Delicious (EP01 – 2024)

EPK – Pythonic – Decomposition (2025)

Publicist – Jon Asher – jon[@]ashermediarelations[.]com

“We think fans are going to love this EP. We are trying to give them a taste of our new vocalist with our classic tracks reimagined, or as we refer to it, “Decomposed”. The music is the same, but the vocal delivery from Morgan Warriner is a huge game-changer. We have had so many positive reviews with live shows that it’s easy to assume they are going to love these tracks. Not to mention the bass playing from Max Hiske on this EP is so groovin’, it really adds so much more depth to the tracks.” – Pythonic

========================================================

About the EP Artwork:

The album artwork was done by the same artist as EP01, Danya Lawton. We got her again for the simple fact that we wanted to take the existing artwork from EP01 and “decay” it. Danya did research on the kind of mushrooms that grow on trees to give a more authentic look to a decaying tree. There is also the added eye in the center of the tree to give it a bit of a possessed feeling. We also did the art in this fashion because a lot of the songs have been shortened from their original counterparts. So, as most musicians compose music, in this case, we “Decomposed” the songs, hence the name Decomposition. The theme of decomposition in the art also helps to drive a more death metal approach that had been taken with the songs.

About The EP:

Lyrically, this EP, within the songs, is a lot more cohesive; the song themes stay on topic the whole time, unlike the past release we have done. I think the short amount of time that a lot of the lyrics were written definitely helped to make them stay on topic. The lyrics are a lot heavier, and that also comes with the delivery. The lyrics are also a lot more raw because they come from a more true-to-person source. The lyrics are truly lived when they are personal, and the non-personal ones just unfold vivid imagery as they are in “Liturgy”.

Musically, the EP came out way more aggressively than last time. Jayden really cooked on the drum parts for the EP. The beats just get a person moving, then when you add Max’s thundering bass to connect it with the riffs, you’ve got magic. I call it a sonic onslaught because there are so many pieces moving together, but they all join up to get this big sound that grooves.

Track By Track:

Guiltfeeder – Lyrically, this song is about ex-friends stabbing you in the back. It talks about how some people will be so nice to your face, but behind closed doors, with others, they will spread rumors and lies about you to try to make you look bad so they can look better. After the dealings with our original Singer, these sentiments couldn’t ring more true. The ending with the backing vocals really drives the full message of the track before Ryan serenades with a face-melting solo. This is one of the tracks that stayed a lot more musically the same from the past track, “Positive Deconstruction,” but we did speed it up to shave a minute off the play time. This was a fun one to rerecord. Speeding the song up gave it a lot more life, plus it’s now way better live.

Conceit – Conceit is a very special track lyrically on the EP. The lyrics were written by Alex Conley, who played bass for us for the first two shows of the year. The lyrics follow a narcissist and the effect their behaviours have on friends and family. It also addresses the anger from the receiving end of narcissistic abuse, how a person wants them to just see how shitty they are, but they are so absorbed in themselves that they never had any chance to see it any other way. Musically, this track did not differ much from the original “Love H8”; nothing was sped up, and no riffs changed. The drums definitely help to drive the thrash sound the band was going for when the song was originally written. The recording was definitely tighter on this one than the original, especially on the bass and the guitar solo at the end.

Pills – The theme that this song was originally supposed to be about is captured so much better by Morgan than it was with Dustin. Reading through the lyrics, he really captures the “beauty” of substance abuse issues. He really gets the inside view portrayed well while also having powerful visual descriptors to really drive home the whole picture of drug addiction. Cracked skin and the itch to get your next fix are really vivid; it almost makes you feel the bugs crawling on your skin. Musically, Pills is the same as the original, and this song is also the only one to share the original name, as the subject matter didn’t change. This song feels a lot tighter than the original version.

Liturgy – This has to be the band’s favourite after recording the songs. The lyrics are about summoning a demon with a sacrifice during a blood moon. As they summon the demon, the flesh of the sacrifice is consumed. This song has such vivid, deep red imagery of a cult giving the demon the land to ravage until the next blood moon. The spoken word at the beginning really sets the tone for the rest of the song. It sounds as if a cult is reading from a text to begin the ritual with an eerie whisper trailing the last word of every line. The trem riffs with the lyrics really intermingle to create a fire spreading across the land type of vibe. The rewritten new chorus riff really chunks up the song. The ending, where Morgan is hitting the highs and Vincent is hitting the lows, just really ties the track together well for a perfect resolution.

Collateral – This song doesn’t stray too far from the themes of its predecessor, “Epica”; however, the name is much better. The song is about joining forces and reclaiming the rights to yourself and the world that’s being controlled for us. It is a very triumphant song with a catchy “MARCH” chant that people can’t help but join in on. This song had a lot of the intro and outro shaved off to cut down the time. The riff is awesome, but it did not need to be repeated that many times. The bass in the intro and outro absolutely slaps. It really helps drive the song in a more marching tone and makes it beefy.

===================================================

Fun Facts:

1. We got a sick show with Into Eternity on the 21st of November. Tristan, ex- Pythonic drums, was setting up a show for his birthday, and he pulled some mad strings and got Into Eternity on the bill along with the band he plays in Ravenwitch. As soon as he asked about the show, I was just like done. I’ll ask the band later. We want to be on this show.

2. A good chunk of the lyrics was written in the first two months of the year, and Morgan had to get the show ready with those lyrics in the same amount of time. We had applied to Serenade Metal Fest before we kicked out our old singer, so Morgan had to really expedite the process. We also had to practise a bunch of mornings to get show-ready because that’s the only extra time we could find when at least drums and one guitar could accompany the vocals.

3. We got to open for the band 200 Stab Wounds in July at the Black Cat Tavern. The show was so packed for a Monday. We came with an absolute onslaught of a set to start the night out right. The guys in 200 were so awesome too, their bass player was talking with everyone in the band. That was an exhilarating show and so crazy for a Monday.

4. The week after the 200 Stab Wounds show, we headed down to Regina to open for YEGG on a Monday night. That was also a wild show in more ways than one. First, every other band thought a different band was bringing drums. Luckily enough, it was at The Exchange, which is directly beside Long and McQuade, so we were able to rent a kit and have the promoter return it later. Then the opening band was not on time, and everyone was stressing about whether we should just start the show. The crowd turnout out though, was insane for a Monday night with 0 local openers. After the show, YEGG was on tour, and they had a band drop off their Edmonton show, and they asked if we wanted to hop on the bill. If people could have gotten the day off, we would have been there.

5. We also have a sick show in Edmonton called Slaughter Fest at the Starlite Room main stage. We are so pumped to play the main stage there. We played the temple stage back in 2019, at least Ryan and Vincent have, and that was sweet, but the size difference is something else. Plus, we get to end our year of shows in the same place we started them. This has been a crazy year of growth for the band and our sound. Fitting to end where it all started.

Pythonic is a Canadian death-groove metal band hailing from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Drawing inspiration from groove and death metal giants such as Lamb of God, The Black Dahlia Murder, Morbid Angel, and Devildriver, the band combines crushing riffs with unrelenting energy. Striving for the tightest live sound possible while delivering an electrifying stage presence, Pythonic is truly a sonic force to be reckoned with. Over the years, the band has seen many lineup changes, but two core members have remained constant. Lead guitarist Ryan Hunter, the resident guitar prodigy, shreds some of the grooviest riffs and most blistering solos. Rhythm guitarist Vincent Kohut brings a machine-like precision, combining thick low-end riffing with razor-sharp tremolo picking.

The 2025 and beyond lineup is the tightest and most prolific in Pythonic’s history:

Jayden Warriner – skin slapping powerhouse on drums

Morgan Warriner – a vocalist with a beastly range that will leave your head spinning

Max Hiske – the latest addition, locking down the low end and slappin’ da bass with fury

Together, this lineup delivers the full-throttle sonic assault that defines Pythonic.

The wait is finally over for those who have been following one of Canada’s newest thrash bands, Pythonic, as they release their debut EP “EP 1” this week on September 27th. Featuring five explosive tracks, it captures the essence of Pythonic‘s evolution over the years. From the politically charged opener “Positive Deconstruction” to the epic closing track “Epica”, the EP offers a powerful listening experience that reflects the band’s journey and growth. They comment on the release:

“Pythonic is ecstatic to finally be releasing our first set of recordings. We have been working diligently over the years to perfect our craft to bring it to the masses. What our craft can be described as we have always left that open to interpretation. All of these tracks have been circulated through our live shows enough it almost feels like releasing a greatest hits album.”

Long-time fans will recognize these tracks from the band’s live performances, now polished and perfected for a studio release. The EP showcases the core lineup of Dustin Reiner (vocals), Ryan Hunter (lead guitar), Vincent Kohut (rhythm guitar), and recent additions Jayden and Morgan Warriner on drums and bass, respectively.

“Pythonic has an EP for you. Blending Thrash with Old School Swedish Death Metal, the band manages to sound like Entombed but without losing its unique style… So if you have a few minutes of anger to drain, these guys are going to cover you!” – Metal Eclipse Reviews

“Overall I’m a pretty big fan of this record. If you want something that sounds maybe like an Anthrax or a Slayer record then you really want to check this out. The most dynamic and unique part of this EP, in particular is the vocals are double-tracked and they’re very high in the mix which is something that is somewhat different than a lot of the other metal releases this year which I greatly appreciate. If you want something that has a lot of the thrash guitar element then you’re really going to want to check this out. The guitar and drum parts are fantastic, they really keep the songs very tight even though the vocals are very in your face and they’re usually the the first thing that you would notice with this kind of record but overall this is very strong.” – Brutally Delicious

Saskatoon, Canada’s Pythonic continues their metal assault with the release of their second single “Pills” from their upcoming EP “EP 1”, due out on September 27, 2024. The single is the oldest song on the EP being the second song ever written by the band. It came out super quickly like the previously released “Love H8” and has a large emphasis on speed. The song tempo jumps up and down sporadically as does someone’s mood on opioids. The band comments further:

“The single Pills is another fan favorite song not as harped about as Epica is but still held in very high regard. This song didn’t have a real solo for most of its life but when it came to recording the leads Ryan said he had a solo to throw in it so Vince had not heard the solo at all up until this point hit record on the track and watched Ryan lay down one the tastiest solos for the recording.”

The simplicity of the riffs in the song is what helps drive this song to listeners. It has a very catchy chorus backed with some catchy lyrics to draw the listener in. In the end, it has an unhinged-sounding solo which is a perfect close to the song almost as if the junkie is frantically looking for their next fix.

“Pills” delves deep into the struggles of addiction and the societal pressures that come with it. Dustin Reiner’s searing vocals deliver a poignant narrative, perfectly complemented by the crushing riffs of lead guitarist Ryan Hunter and the unyielding rhythm guitar of Vincent Kohut. The Warriner brothers, Jayden on drums and Morgan on bass provide a relentless backbone that drives the song’s intense momentum. It is recommended for fans of Devildriver, Machine Head, and Trivium.

Listen to “Pills” via its premiere on Bravewords HERE.

“EP 1” will be available on all digital platforms on September 27th, 2024.

Pythonic, the powerhouse Canadian (Saskatoon-based) metal band, is thrilled to announce the release of their newest single “Love H8”. This marks the second single from their debut “EP 1” set to be released on September 27th. The single “Love H8” is a showcase of the more thrashy side of Pythonic and they deliver a barrage of tasty riffs, they comment:

“This song originated from Vincent and is one of the only songs to showcase him playing leads. Part of what makes this song special is it had some producing help from longtime friend and drummer on the EP Jordan Gall. Jordan came up with the idea for the leads over the chorus riffs while in the studio with Vincent. Drummers got riffs too, who knew.”

“Love H8” musically came out exactly as Pythonic needed it to as a sick thrash song. The idea behind the track was to get people to move and it does just that when played live or just as a recording. The single is a song about how in relationships if one person isn’t healed properly they can project their problems onto the other. Most of the riffs were written in a single sitting only one riff was sourced out to Ryan and it is the killer bridge riff.

Lead guitarist Ryan Hunter and rhythm guitarist Vincent Kohut’s dynamic interplay creates a soundscape that is both ferocious and melodic, while new drummer Jayden Warriner’s aggressive beats drive the track forward with unrelenting energy. Bassist Morgan Warriner locks in with his brother, Jayden, to form a rhythm section that is tighter than ever, adding a solid foundation to the band’s intricate arrangements. Pythonic is recommended for fans of Lamb of God, Devildriver, and Machine Head.

Publicist – Jon Asher – jon[@]ashermediarelations[.]com

“Pythonic is ecstatic to finally be releasing our first set of recordings. We have been working diligently over the years to perfect our craft to bring it to the masses. What our craft can be described as we have always left that open to interpretation. We have heard wild claims from people over the years. “You sound like Bolt Thrower or Morbid Angel with clean vocals”. The one that resonates the most with the band though is being labeled as Groove Metal. We are a groovy bunch of dudes and the music makes people move. Although it’s a fairly ambiguous sub-genre. We still do not throw ourselves into any single sub-genre as we are not done writing and it leaves it open for us to produce any type of track we desire.” – Pythonic

==============================================

About The EP Artwork

The concept for the EP has gone through many ideas and changes. The one solid piece that we wanted on the first one was a big tree as the main focus. At the base of the tree is a guy pulling puzzle pieces off himself and replacing them with pieces from the tree. This goes along with the track Positive Deconstruction which is the opening track on the EP. Healing through nature is the point trying to be conveyed through the album art. Personal healing and growth is a concept that the band wants to push through themselves to fans and the album art can help portray that.

The EP as a whole (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY)

Lyrically this album reflects on the massive displacement of hate in the world and the need to shift into a state of love. Basically, we can see the bullshit and we will not allow it to penetrate into our hearts and minds. This music is our shield against those low vibratory forces.

Musically I would say this EP comes from the heart a lot of the songs came to be very naturally. The songs are all a few years old now with the exception of a few parts in songs. A lot of these songs were written when most of the band was coming into themselves as musicians and we all had a strong push to be better than we were before. It just kind of worked out that most of the songs fit sort of thematically and riff-wise as well nothing is too far outside of each other but still distinct enough to know it is a different song

Track by Track (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY)

Positive Deconstruction – musically this song always came across as a little more on the greasy end. The verse riff just gets bouncy and slidey. Our original drummer wanted blasts in the second half of the chorus riff but it sounded way better when we recorded the drums that we did. The ending breakdown, although repetitive yet heavy, has the monotony broken up by a sick guitar solo headed by Ryan.

Lyrically – societal collapse for a better future for humankind

Love H8 musically came out exactly as we needed it to as a sick thrash song. The idea behind the track was to get people to move and it does just that while played live.

Lyrically – challenges of a relationship

Pills musically was written fairly quickly while at band practice. Vince had the main chorus riff ready to go and the rest just sort of followed. The song has some bigger tempo changes that help to synthesize the feelings of being on pills while listening. The ups and downs of addiction.

Lyrically – medications pollute the body

Practice What You Preach was written while guitar player Vincent was listening to a fair bit of Nile so some slight Egyptian-esque sounds definitely come out in the riffs. This song has a fairly big emphasis on the harmonies thrown together within the track. This song came out a fair bit slower than the rest of the songs but it’s a good reprieve with some great riffs.

Lyrically – inner turmoil of growth

Epica is meant to be triumphant and powerful. It is a song about standing up for what you believe in and challenging the status quo. I believe it is portrayed very well within the riffs and lyrics

Lyrically – the illusion of freedom

==============================================

STORY ANGLES – FUN FACTS

The EP had drums recorded at powder room studios, located in Hafford Saskatchewan, which is owned by EP Drummer Jordan Gall who Vincent grew up with. The rest of the tracks were recorded in Vincent’s Bedroom and the tracks were sent off to Chirs Douglas at The Sound Castle to be mixed and mastered

When Ryan first joined the band he was only 16 years old and brought along with him long-time bass player Alyxx Frayne who was the same age. She would later go on to play bass in Widow’s Peak after moving to CalgaryAll the core members of Pythonic grew up in different places. It’s just by sheer chance we all linked up. Ryan was born in BC and moved to Saskatoon. Vincent was raised on a Farm near a small town called Hafford and Dustin grew up in Melfort. The current rhythm lineup consisting of brothers Jayden and Morgan Warriner both went to school with Ryan and ended up being really good fits to the band.

The first sold-out show we played was a fundraiser for the Saskatoon SPCA on September 15th, 2023. It was also the first show that we played with Jayden on drums. The show ended up raising 5k for the SPCA. We were the third band on the bill the band after us was Kelevra and when they got up on stage after us the singer said to the crowd “Well I don’t know how we are supposed to follow that set”. They played just as a killer of a set that night.

Without any recorded material we almost got to play a Junofest showcase when the Junos were in Saskatoon it was the year Striker won with their album Play to Win. The show was going to be opening for Striker and Untimely Demise. The show was unfortunately canceled the day of the event as COVID-19 was labeled a pandemic that day.

Pythonic is a Canadian metal band founded late 2015. Through the years there has been many line up changes with the band, however there has been a core three members through it all. Dustin Reiner on Vocals masterfully entwining thought provoking lyrics with sick flow and harsh growls. Lead guitarist Ryan Hunter has been the resident guitar prodigy laying down some of the grooviest riffs and most intense guitar solos. Rhythm Guitarist Vincent Kohut generates riffs like a machine mixing heaps of thick low end with tight tremolo picking which keeps riffs varied and fresh. Recent addition to the band Jayden Warriner has taken up the sticks and slams nasty beats behind the kit. The most recent addition to the fringe is Jayden’s brother Morgan Warriner hitting fat low end on the bass and locking in for a tighter rhythm section than you can imagine.

Shared Stage with: Agony Spawn, Untimely Demise, Ravenwitch, Hatchet, Hazzerd, Reject, Kelevra, Augurium, Widows Peak, Protosequence, Wasted Heretics, Art of Attrition, Alien to the Ignorant, Mileshigh, 6M

Tours and Festivals:
