PESTILENCE

Release Year: 2017
Artist Origin: NED
Style: intense savage thrash death metal

the Pestilence flight has got an acceleration when left-handed growler Martin van Drunen started playing bass and when they were signed by the rising Roadracer label: this fundamental debut album by the flying Dutch has exploded with a relentless salvo of savage thrash/death metal, which has been devastating no weaker than the extreme metal prophets were doing it over the Atlantic at that same time; relentless music is full of kindred thrash elements, yet gritty, devouring vocal style, bludgeoning rhythmics and sweeping, primordial sound has been reaching for yet inexperienced, marginal nooks of ferocious music, giving birth to such undying anthems as Parricide or Chemo Therapy; recent essential double disc edition in slipcase comes with a newly remastered sound, all eight tracks of both 1987's demos, Dysentary and The Penance, rare song from 1988's compilation, and thorough liner notes in the booklet
