NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – May 22, 2020

For fans of Death, Edge of Sanity, Pestilence

Extreme Metal Music: Out Now! PILE OF PRIESTS New Self-Titled Album

New Video ‘Conjunction of Souls‘ ft. Adrienne Cowan (Seven Spires)

Denver, USA’s Pile of Priests’ self-titled album is now available as of May 22nd via Extreme Metal Music, a subsidiary of Italy’s Rockshots Records. For the album’s release day, the band has unleashed a new lyric video for their track ‘Conjunction of Souls’ featuring guest vocals from Adrienne Cowan (Seven Spires).

The band adds:

“Another go-getter track, fast and beefy riffs. Here we see Adrienne Cowan’s guest female vocals show up for the first time, and alongside Evan’s vocalist in the chorus. This track is to the point and guaranteed to give you the stank face.”

Lyric video HERE.

Spotify

 

Dark and melodic, the progressive death metal album is a huge milestone for the band as it encompasses the style they have been striving to portray for a long time. The conceptual album takes place centuries ago in a fictional universe, not unlike our own. The story is about an exiled prince who seeks to end the reign of his deranged father.

Meant to be listened from front to back with each song leading into the next, the band shares their expected reaction of the album:

“We believe fans will be surprised by certain elements of this record but ultimately very satisfied. There is something for everyone in this one; powerhouse vocals, sinister riffing, silky solos, harmonies to make your hair stand up, and some beautiful melodic passages.”

About:

Pile of Priests formed in October of 2009 in Denver, Colorado as a three-piece death/thrash metal band, and later developed more of a progressive death metal approach. Led by guitarist, vocalist, and composer Evan Salvador; the band focuses its lyrical themes on the heinous hypocrisies of organized religion and the eternal struggles of the human condition. The band has independently released one full-length album and two EPs, which they have toured for around the Western and Midwestern United States. Pile of Priests’ self-titled sophomore album will be released on May 22nd, 2020 on Extreme Metal Music (Rockshots Records).

“Pile of Priests have delivered a nuanced and satisfying album that any fan of more complex Death Metal will want to get a hold of.” – The Metal Crypt

“Everything the band does blends together perfectly, and from front-to-back each song flows into each other to tell a story about the hypocrisy of man and how we are all, essentially, failures in some form. What separates this album from the rest of the albums coming out this year is the fact that there’s this overarching feeling of familiarity but so many modern techniques and interpretations of music are brought in that it feels fresh and spunky.” Rating: 9/10 – New Transcendence

“there’s a raw vigor to their music that a lot of their peers seem to lack. I think a lot of it has to do with the production; the guitar tone has some bite, and the vocals and drums pack a lot of punch, but they all leave room for that adventurous bass to cut through and breathe. It’s hard to go wrong with this if you like melodeath.” – Toilet Ov Hell

“For fans of technical/melodic death metal who enjoy a bit of storytelling intertwined with their brutal riffs, this album is certainly worth your attention.” – Metal-Roos

“And now with their second offering Pile of Priests they truly carve their own path in today’s death metal landscape with razor sharp attention to detail and nasty little hooks that set deep. This is an album that will appeal to a broad set of metal and heavy rock fans, it’s broad and diverse without ever losing its vicious edge.” – Nine Circles

“Denver’s Pile Of Priests have been honing their craft of anti-organized religious themed death metal for over a decade now, and their upcoming self-title sophomore effort is the sum of all their parts. A concept album at it’s core with the musicianship to back it up, I believe that any fan of metal will enjoy this record. And that album cover art? Phenomenal. ” – Wicked Metal Review

“Bloodstained Citadel – Thunderous pounding drums are coming at us at 100 mph with a real point to prove and are delivering hit after hit of sheer unadulterated vengeful hits of monsterous proportions that make you stand back in awe, the shredding from the guitar assault is awesome in that it is delivering a six stringed attack of the senses that makes you hair stand on end, another reason to listen to these guys as the have certainly honed there skills with this offering.” – Jace Media UK

“It is full to the brim of very complex rhythms, great jams…the musicianship on Void of Enlightenment is top quality stuff. The band’s drummer pulls off some excellent grooves as the two guitar players jam over the top. It is a pleasant change for the genre and it gives the band a lot of personality.” – Demons Zone (Void To Enlightenment Review)

“a swirling vortex of terror, brutality and vintage 90s progressive moments. Be afraid, and make your body ready, for this is a wild ride.” The Killchain Blog (Void To Enlightenment Review)

Denver Death Trio PILE OF PRIESTS Video Premiere “Redemptionem Per Cruciatu” via NoCleanSinging.com


L-R – Patrick Leyn (Bass) | Evan Salvador (Guitar and Vocals) | Evan Knight (Drums) – Photo Credit: Mitch Ross

Currently working on completing their new EP entitled “Tenebrous Labyrinth” to follow their 2015 debut album “Void To Enlightenment”, Denver, CO progressive death metal trio PILE OF PRIESTS have a new video for their stand alone single entitled “Redemptionem Per Cruciatu” premiered exclusively on NoCleanSinging.com.

Translated from Latin, “Redemptionem Per Cruciatu” means “Redemption Through Torture” as the band explains:

“The song is about the centuries of child molestation within the Catholic Church, and in particular one Wisconsin priest who sexually molested over 200 deaf children between 1950 and 1974. He was never punished by the Vatican hierarchy or by the criminal justice system of the United States. The song musically starts out with an eerie bass intro to portray the sadness and trauma of all the affected victims. It then progresses into a fast-paced melodic ride of pure anger that is sure to rile up the listener.”

Following the release of this new single, the band’s forthcoming EP “Tenebrous Labyrinth” will consist of three original songs and three covers.

Drummer Evan Knight adds:

“We are very proud of our new single ‘Redemption Per Cruciatu’ and upcoming EP that we plan to follow. Our sound has evolved on every release and we have agreed that this EP to come is the pinnacle of our sound thus far. It’s fast, evil, melodic and incorporates other styles of metal besides death metal.”

About:

Formed in 2009, the memorably named progressive death metal band Pile of Priests have put in the man hours for their metal, supporting legendary bands like Artillery, Vader and Immolation.

Consisting of Evan Salvador on guitar and vocals, Patrick Leyn on bass, and Evan Knight on drums, they independently released their 2016 debut album ‘Void To Enlightenment’.

Never resting on their laurels, they have now recorded a new EP, consisting of three original songs and three covers, entitled ‘Tenebrous Labyrinth’ plus prior to the EP being unleashed a stand alone single ‘Redemption Per Cruciatu’.

Inspired by Death, Edge of Sanity, Old Man’s Child, Cannibal Corpse and the mighty Voivod… Evan Salvador describes his band’s ‘death metal with a twist’.

Pile of Priests aim is to produce a sound inspired by 90s death and thrash metal bands. The trio were disgusted with what they describe as ‘pseudo metal’ and they could feel the resurgence of real metal was coming, and Pile of Priests were going to be at the forefront of this true metal tsunami! Lyrically, Pile of Priests are a firestorm of fury against the injustices of the world, as main songwriter Evan Salvador explains, he focuses on “things that upset me, things that I have true hatred or resentment toward to help conjure creative emotions. Most of our songs are about the fallacies of religion, but also human struggles and current events in the world.”

Evan is stoked for fans to hear Pile of Priests’ new music. “We are very proud of our new single ‘Redemption Per Cruciatu’ and upcoming EP that we plan to follow. Our sound has evolved on every release and we have agreed that this EP to come is the pinnacle of our sound thus far. It’s fast, evil, melodic and incorporates other styles of metal besides death metal.’

Live Pile of Priests “is all about energy. We certainly don’t stand there like boring robots solely focused on our instruments with blank expressions!”
