Olhava - Reborn - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

St. Petersburg-base post-black metal duo Olhava's debut album finally repressed, as Avantgarade Music takes care of a limited digi CD version. Olhava's debut self-titled album, self-produced and released in 2020 has been saluted with great enthusiasm on Bandcamp, the where Olhava were born and their music was first released. Delve into dreamy, cold soundscapes, somewhere in between Alcest, Deafheaven and the endless blue of Ladoga lake, the biggest lake of the European continent. Olhava's journey is one of melancholy and thoughtfulness, to enter the vast spaces of Russia.

Olhava - Memorial [COMPACT DISCS] date 04/03/2026

Gilead Media is proud to continue our tradition of working with NorthAmerica's finest underground metal bands with New York City'sPYROLATROUS and their debut full-length TENERAL. It's no secretthat we're partial to the flourishing NYC metal scene, having workedwith numerous bands from the city. There seems to be anoverwhelming concentration of creative energy coming from theregion, and we love being a part of what's happening there.Pyrolatrous was formed in 2012 by Nicholas Palmirotto (also ofHULL), who wrote and recorded 3 songs with Joel Stallings (also ofRadiation Blackbody/Defeatist) on drums. The project took abackseat to HULL due to touring schedules, but was then revived in2015 after HULL disbanded. Unable to continue with the project at thetime, Joel was replaced on drums by the ubiquitous Lev Weinstein (ofKrallice, Anicon, Woe, Geryon, Zeal and Ardor live lineup, and more).Together, Palmirotto and Weinstein completed writing and recordingTeneral. Following the completion of the album, the remainder of thelineup was solidified with the inclusion of Nolan Voss (guitar, also ofAnicon), and Joe Merolla (bass).Teneral is a densely crafted album, both thematically and musically. Agreat deal of Pyrolatrous' style is influenced by classic black anddeath metal, utilizing both sweeping, blasting tremolo passages andpowerfully technical riff / percussion interplay. Although on TeneralPalmirotto and Weinstein elevate each of the album's ninemovements beyond what has become expected of the standardblackened death composition through their extensive experience andconsiderable skill. On a lyrical level the album touches on topicspersonal and social, but throughout they maintain a commonality intheir observation of life, existence, and the human experienceinteracting with both ones self and the machinations of society.1.
