Pyrolatrous - Teneral [CD] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Gilead Media is proud to continue our tradition of working with North
Americas finest underground metal bands with New York Citys
PYROLATROUS and their debut full-length TENERAL. Its no secret
that were partial to the flourishing NYC metal scene, having worked
with numerous bands from the city. There seems to be an
overwhelming concentration of creative energy coming from the
region, and we love being a part of whats happening there.
Pyrolatrous was formed in 2012 by Nicholas Palmirotto (also of
HULL), who wrote and recorded 3 songs with Joel Stallings (also of
Radiation Blackbody/Defeatist) on drums. The project took a
backseat to HULL due to touring schedules, but was then revived in
2015 after HULL disbanded. Unable to continue with the project at the
time, Joel was replaced on drums by the ubiquitous Lev Weinstein (of
Krallice, Anicon, Woe, Geryon, Zeal and Ardor live lineup, and more).
Together, Palmirotto and Weinstein completed writing and recording
Teneral. Following the completion of the album, the remainder of the
lineup was solidified with the inclusion of Nolan Voss (guitar, also of
Anicon), and Joe Merolla (bass).
Teneral is a densely crafted album, both thematically and musically. A
great deal of Pyrolatrous style is influenced by classic black and
death metal, utilizing both sweeping, blasting tremolo passages and
powerfully technical riff / percussion interplay. Although on Teneral
Palmirotto and Weinstein elevate each of the albums nine
movements beyond what has become expected of the standard
blackened death composition through their extensive experience and
considerable skill. On a lyrical level the album touches on topics
personal and social, but throughout they maintain a commonality in
their observation of life, existence, and the human experience
interacting with both ones self and the machinations of society.
