A concise, crushing statement of intent, "The Pyre of Equivalence" encapsulates the bleak, brutalist aesthetic of Head of the Baptist. The EP delivers four tracks of uncompromising, down-tuned sonic punishment.

• Recorded in December 2022, the EP was self-produced by the band.
• The release marks the band's first new material since their 2021 full-length album, 'Antinomian'.
• "The Pyre of Equivalence" was released on March 19, 2023, with no associated label.

Head of the Baptist is a US-based purveyor of the darkest, most extreme strains of doom metal. The Pyre of Equivalence finds the band at a period of intense creative output.
