New York Thrashers PIROSAINT Release Long-Awaited Debut Album, “Know Thyself,” via Digmetalworld
New York thrashers PIROSAINT have released a new full-length album, ‘Know Thyself’, via Digmetalworld in North America.
To celebrate the release, the band has debuted lyric video for two tracks, “The Debt” and “Everybodys War”.
“This work has taken a lot longer that we have expected but we are more than happy with what we have accomplished,” says drummer Ignacio Orellana. “This band has a long untold history because of its roots but we know that once we have an opportunity to show it live, we will deliver the metal goods. That’s what we are about.”
‘Know Thyself’ was recorded between 2013-2016 and 2020-2021 at Oily Sounds Studios NYC by Orellana and is made up of new compositions, previously unreleased tracks and a special bonus for fans following PIROSAINT since their beginnings in 1989.
Originally based in Santiago, Chile, PIROSAINT joined a small but powerful and enthusiastic local heavy metal scene with bands such as Necrosis, Massacre and Criminal. After releasing two demos in 1992 and 1994, the band issued an EP called ‘New God’ in 1997. ‘Know Thyself,’ PIROSAINT’s long-waited debut full-length, marks the band’s second active decade.
‘Know Thyself’ is available now digitally at http://pirosaint.bandcamp.com and via all streaming services. Physical CDs will be available November 21. Pre-orders are available via PIROSAINT‘s Bandcamp page.
