PIROSAINT to release new material after 14 years of absence


PIROSAINT has announced that it will start the recordings of a brand new album in almost 15 years after has been in silence. The band originally was formed in Santiago, Chile in 1988 and now with new members, has started the recordings of an EP at Oily Sound Studios in New Windsor, NY. The new material will expected to be available by May/Jun of this year.

Many things have changed since Pirosaint disbanded in 1998 in Chile, but the spirit hasn't change nothing. Original drummer Ignacio Orellana has been working hard on putting back together his original band with help of his latest band mate Ron Buckner, since last May 2011, when they decided leave the Downfire, to re activate Pirosaint.

When Ignacio had the chance to replace Sacred Oath's drummer Kenny Evans for a few shows, because of his back problems, on the "Sacred Oath Tour" last Oct/Nov 2011, he asked guitarist Bill Smith to join Pirosaint as a side project, since then Bill has been working with Ron and Ignacio, putting the old material and new one together.

The band has no steady singer yet, and the vocal parts are going to be done by a friend of the band, the name of the vocalist will be revealed prior the release of the album.
