    Canadian Death-Groove Metal Band Pythonic Set You Free - PipemanRadio Interview

    Pythonic - Set You Free  Pythonic is a Canadian death-groove metal band hailing from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Drawing inspiration from groove and death metal giants like Lamb of God, The Black Dahlia Murder, Morbid Angel, and Devildriver, the band blends 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. Morgan Warriner transitioned from bass to lead vocals, writing and learning a full setlist of songs ahead of Pythonic’s first show of 2025—Serenade Metal Fest in Edmonton, held in February. During the early months of the year, Alex Conley filled in on bass. After Alex left to pursue school, he was replaced by bass phenom Max Hiske. By the end of June, Max played his first show with Pythonic, which also marked Morgan’s third performance as lead vocalist. Just one week later, we had the honor of opening for local legends Lava Goat and international heavy-hitters 200 Stab Wounds. Pythonic’s current lineup is a force to be reckoned with.
