Gateway

The cold grey album cover of "Gateway" from Finland's PESTIFEROUS speaks volumes of the pitch-black metal in store for the listener. Few would mistake PESTIFEROUS for one of the genre's great ones, but many should applaud the band's better than average assault, which features more than just DARKTHRO...
