PESTILENCE Is 'Very Excited' About Upcoming Tour

March 26, 2009

Resurrected late '80s/early '90s death metal outfit PESTILENCE will convene in two weeks to begin rehearsing for its upcoming European tour, which kicks off on April 9 at the Inferno festival in Oslo, Norway. The band says, "[We are] very excited to start the tour and will rehearse a good mixture between 'Consuming Impulse' [1989], 'Testimony Of The Ancients' [1991] and 'Spheres' [1993] albums and the new 'Resurrection Macabre'."

"Resurrection Macabre" was released on March 13 in Europe (April 14 in the U.S.) via Holland's Mascot Records. The band recorded a total of 14 songs during the session at Hansen Studios in Ribe, Denmark — 11 new tracks and three classic PESTILENCE cuts (as chosen by the fans) to be included on the limited-edition first pressing: "Out Of The Body", "Chemo Therapy" and "Lost Souls". Joining guitarist/vocalist Patrick Mameli in PESTILENCE's current recording lineup are Tony Choy (ATHEIST, CYNIC) on bass and Peter Wildoer (DARKANE, NON-HUMAN LEVEL) on drums. Patrick has previously described the band's new material as a modern fusion of "Testimony of the Ancients" (1991) and "Spheres" (1993),but even more technical and brutal.
