Following the brief intro “A Perfect Mind,” “Pyrocene” is the first proper track on Dream Weapon, the first new Genghis Tron album in thirteen years.
Guitarist Hamilton Jordan says “Pyrocene” isn’t just the first song on Dream Weapon — it was the the first song they wrote for the record:
“‘Pyrocene’ was the first song we finished for Dream Weapon. It all started with a single drumbeat that I wrote during an extended stay in the Arizona desert. I gave that beat to Michael [Sochynsky, keyboards/programming], and within a few weeks he built an entire sinister, pulsating world around it. We knew, well before finishing the album, that this had to be the opening song on the record.”

Dream Weapon comes out March 26 on Relapse.
