PESTILENCE

Release Year: 2023
Artist Origin: NED
Style: intense savage technical death metal

if savage longplay debut can still be considered as a recording arising from the extreme thrash era, then its bestial sequel [1989] is simply a senses-shattering experience of groundbreaking death metal, mesmerizing the ears by yet unheard aggressiveness and darker touch, a dose of lethal technicality and wild improvisational jazz-like soloing, where flawless composition skills and Martin Van Drunen's [Asphyx, ex.Hail of Bullets] rabid, unbeatable and quite inhuman roar guarantee the devastating outcome - these ten tracks are considered a tremendous straight-ahead death metal classic, hitting the mind like a slab of concrete!; recent black/red splatter vinyl edition with a thorough sound remastering and pro-printed lyric insert is limited to 700 hand-numbered units, copy #517
