Pile Of Priests "Self-Titled" <REVIEW>
If there’s anything I love in life, it’s progressive metal of any kind, and photoshopping myself into places I really shouldn’t be. This week, we’re taking a look at a band from Denver, Colorado called Pile of Priests. This four-piece death metal group have been around for about 11 years now and have put out quite a bit of music in that time. I had the chance to listen to their debut full length Void to Enlightenment and I thought that album was actually pretty solid. It got me pretty curious about their latest self-titled release.
What helped even further was the fact that the prog part isn’t too far behind as this album also is telling a story, AND the band’s comments on the album when talking with Asher Media. “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.”
Can Pile of Priests’ self-titled live up to this description? Check out the full review below, and make sure you subscribe to the channel if you haven’t already.
