Biography

Beginning in Boston, MA in 2004, Pillory began writing and piecing together ideas for what would soon become their first full length, "No Life Guard at the Genepool". The only goals set in place were to be extreme and to be writing outside the box. There were influences pulled in from so many directions that it's hard to describe exactly what came out. They ranged from grindcore, death metal, thrash and black metal and even to some genres not typically associated with extreme music.

In 2014 Pillory's sound now comes from a singular mind in form of a new full length entitled "Evolutionary Miscarriage". Darren Cesca, the original drummer and main songwriting contributor has carried on with the vision that he has always wanted Pillory to be. Darren has been a well known drummer in the extreme metal genre for quite sometime. His history includes assignments with Arsis, Burn in Silence and Goratory, touring all over the world both headlining and in support of numerous other worldwide artists.

Now the owner and engineer at "House of Grind Studio" Darren works with different artists on a regular basis. He has done everything from session drumming work and songwriting to producing, engineering and mastering. Darren has collaborated with artists such as Incinerate, Hideous Deformity, Eschaton, Skinned and Isolation in Infamy.

From these experiences he has grown as a musician and uses Pillory as his own personal form of expression,. "I enjoy collaborating with other musicians and have done so for many years, but with Pillory I really wanted to work from one perspective in order to create a strong sense of cohesion on this album".

Even with a new album release on the horizon, Pillory has no intention to stop creating. The ideas are endless and the boundaries are unfounded. The only rules going forward are to continue to define the Pillory sound which in and of itself has no clear-cut musical definition.
