Gilead Media is proud to continue our tradition of working with North America’s finest underground metal bands with New York City’s
PYROLATROUS and their debut full-length TENERAL. It’s no secret that we’re 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 what’s 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).
