Pyroclasts to album będący efektem regularnych ćwiczeń zespołu, rano i wieczorem, podczas sesji nagraniowyych do płyty Life Metal. Uczestniczący w nagraniach muzycy Midyett, T.O.S., Hildur Guðnadóttir, Stephen O’Malley i Greg Anderson codziennie na początku albo po zakończeniu pracy przez dwanaście minut wspólnie improwizowali.
