PESTILENCE haben sich von ihrem Schlagzeuger Septimiu Harsan getrennt, ersetzt wird dieser von Michiel van der Plicht (Liveschlagzeuger bei Carach Angren). Der neue Mann wird zusammen mit der Band am kommenden Album "Exitivm" arbeiten das via Agonia Records erscheinen soll.PESTILENCE kommentieren: "Right before the drum recordings for the new Pestilence album, we got news from Septimiu Harsan, that he wil not be a part of this historic event. Recent developments regarding the covid-19 pandemic, the financial aspect and travel situation made him decide to stop pursuing a carreer in music on a professional level. We, Rutger van Noordenburg, Joost van der Graaf and mr. Pestilence himself, of corpse, wish him health and all the best for the future".
Die Band führt fort: "BUT THIS DOES NOT STOP US from delivering you the virus, that is the black plague, to your ears. We contacted Holland's finest, Michiel van der Plicht, to record "Exitivm" for us. After hearing the raw demo's he was very excited to say the least. Michiel, who is also the live drummer for Carach Angren, is currently negotiating with them, about the possibilities of playing live for Pestlence as well. But for now we will focus on recording the album with him and see what happens in the future".
Michiel van der Plicht dazu: “I'm very proud to be playing on the upcoming Pestilence album. Be prepared!”.
