Added DiffLines:

* GratuitousPanning: Their albums are commonly mixed with two separate guitar tracks from Dylan DiLella, one panned sharply into the left channel and the other into the right. It's not precisely ''gratuitous'', though, since it'd be difficult bordering on impossible to distinguish them without the panning.


Added DiffLines:

** When the band slows down their tempo and cuts the distortion down, this is commonly the effect, especially since a GenreSavvy listener knows it's only a temporary letup in intensity. Examples include "Eternity in a Breath", "Tennessee", and "The Cost of Living".

* ShoutOut: They are named for [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrrhonism Pyrrhonism]], the first known philosophical school of scepticism, which taught the pursuit of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eudaimonia eudaimonia]] (εὐδαιμονία, a state of excellence and inner wellbeing brought about by exercising virtue, wisdom, and rationality) by achieving [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ataraxia ataraxia]] (ἀταραξία, a state of equanimity) through [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoch%C3%A9 epoché]] (ἐποχή, suspension of judgement). A Pyrrhon is, by extension, a follower of Pyrrhonism. In turn, Pyrrhonism is named for [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrrho Pyrrho of Elis]] (Πύρρων ὁ Ἠλεῖος, ca. 360 BCE-ca. 270 BCE), who is credited as the first Greek sceptic philosopher and the founder of Pyrrhonism. However, as Pyrrho left no surviving writings, and even the writings of his pupil [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timon_of_Phlius Timon of Philus]] (Τίμων ὁ Φλιάσιος, ca. 320 BCE - ca. 235 BCE) only survive in fragments, the contents of Pyrrho's own philosophy are to some extent a matter of hearsay and conjecture.
