Pestilence Headlines Maryland Deathfest By Charlie Steffens aka Gnarly Charlie, Writer/Photographer Thursday, April 23, 2009 @ 4:07 AM
May 24th at the Maryland DeathFest 2009, USA metal-heads get a skull-crushing performance from one of the earliest innovators of Death Metal – The return of Pestilence after 15 years of deathlike silence. Pestilence will release a brand new studio album Resurrection Macabre April 28th on Mascot Records USA. This album marks the display of the timeless power from a band that is the pacesetter of brutal death metal with extreme technique and skill. The brand new album was recorded in Denmark, with producer Jacob Hansen. The new incarnation of Pestilence consists of original band member Patrick Mameli, the American bass wizard Tony Choy (Atheist, Cynic, a.o.) and powerhouse drummer Peter Wildoer (Arch Enemy, Darkane, a.o.). Guitar player Patrick Uterwijk will join the band for the live shows. The result of many months of hard work is aptly titled Resurrection Macabre. The new album has everything to offer that a fan of Pestilence – old and new. It has the dark atmosphere, brutal vocals, sheer power and technical skills the trademarks of Pestilence. Another link to the glory days of the past are the three old Pestilence songs that get a new life on the new album: Chemo Therapy, Out Of the Body and Lost Souls, all coming from the first two Pestilence albums. “It seemed like a good idea to connect ourselves to our musical past,” explains Mameli. “Apart from that I liked the idea of revisiting those old songs and to see what they would sound like when performed and recorded in this advanced day and age.” The first responses of fans, promoters and media are overwhelming and unanimous: Pestilence are back!
