BOILER ROOM
Former Roadrunner and Tommy Boy / Warner Brothers recording artists Boiler Room are back! Originally formed in 1996 in New York City, Boiler Room released their self‑titled, independent album that same year produced by future Guns N' Roses guitarist Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal. The addition of Rob Caggiano (Anthrax, Volbeat) in 1998 began a creative writing relationship between him and singer Chris Lino and elevated the bands sound and performance. 1999 saw the band opening for nationally recognized acts along the East Coast, including Type O Negative, Life of Agony, Clutch and Static‑X, helping them catch the attention of renowned NYC radio station 92.3 K‑ROCK. Upon the release of their album they toured with Disturbed, Mudvanye, Kittie, and also Headlined a club tour in Europe
The band disbanded in 2001, with Caggiano leaving to join Anthrax and the other members dispersing into various projects. Chris Lino connected with Mike Orlando (Adrenaline Mob) to work on a project. The two remained friends, and in 2022, Orlando reached out to Chris and suggested that he consider re-recording and re-releasing some of Boiler Rooms previously released songs including the brand new stand out tracks "Haunted" and "Rectify". All the songs were co‑produced, mixed, mastered, and engineered by Mike Orlando at his Sonic Stomp Studio in New York City. Jason Bittner (Shadows Fall, Category 7, Overkill) was brought in to play drums on the album while Orlando laid down the rhythm guitars. Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal guest appears on the title track "Rectify". The lineup of Pete Rizzi (Who on Earth) laid down the bass, guitarist Nick Seditious (Soraia, Out of Exile) performed solos on select tracks, and the band recruited Tommy Spano (Sekond Skyn, A Pale Horse Named Death, Corey Glover) on drums to round out the lineup.
