Musik - PESTILENCE arbeiten an einem neuen Album
 Die holländischen Death Metaller PESTILENCE haben mit den Arbeiten an ihrem neunten Studioalbum "Exitivm" begonnen, dieses soll Ende des Jahres bei Agonia Records erscheinen.

So wie für uns alle lief auch für PESTILENCE das Jahr 2020 anders als geplant. Die Tour mit POSSESSED wurde abgesagt und Schlagzeuger Septimiu Harsan hat die Band verlassen.
Verstärkt durch den neuen Schlagzeuger Michiel van der Plicht (Liveschlagzeuger bei Carach Angren) und Bassist Joost van der Graaf (Creep Mime, I Chaos and Dew Scented) wollen PESTILENCE jetzt mit neuer Energie angreifen: die Schlagzeugspuren sind schon eingespielt, die Gitarren sind momentan im Endstadium.

PESTILENCE`s Patrick Mameli erläutert "Exitivm": "Pestilence is very pleased how the 10 new compositions are developing and taking shape. Not even in my wildest dreams I could have ever imagined this monster taking shape like it is doing right now. I think it has something to do with this line-up and sound engineer too. Not only are the new guys: Rutger (lead guitars), Joost van der Graaf ( bass guitars) and Michiel van der Plicht (drums) extremely talented but they fit the Pestilence style. They fill in their parts on a high professional level. My guitar sound for this new album EXITIVM is more brutal and heavy than on previous albums so that it crushes the scull and pierces right through the soul. The collaboration with studio engineer Jory Hogeveen at Pitchnote Productions, has been very relaxed since he is a musician himself (guitar player for Shinigami), so we speak the same musical language. So far we finished recording drums, guitars, bass and some leads. It already sounds DEVASTATING. Up next are vocals and the rest of the leads. Then we add some intro's and soundscapes to further take the whole concept to a much darker place because the lyrical concept is about mental illness and inner and outer entities aka demons."

Line-up:
Patrick Mameli - vocals, lead guitar
Rutger van Noordenburg - lead guitar
Joost van der Graaf - bass guitar
Michiel van der Plicht - drums
