		PESSIMIST is by definition: "a belief in the dark side, and the tendency to take the darkest and most negative view of the world.
		PESSIMIST became recognized for their unique brand of brutal and technical Black/Death Metal, with old-school thrash influences, an emphasis on quality songwriting, powerful live shows and a dark, evil sound.
		In 1999 PESSIMIST released their brutal follow-up "Blood for the Gods" CD, again on Lost Disciple Records which soared into the CMJ National Top 20 Loud Rock Charts and received the coveted "Pick of the Issue...10 Fucking Skulls!" in SOD Magazine.

	The Positive Side of Being a Pessimist
		For example, the study showed that pessimists tend to fare better as gamblers and know when to cut their losses rather than let it roll.
		The study showed that pessimists were more likely to reduce their bets if their past performance had been poor, but the optimists seemed relatively unfazed by their losses.
		For example, pessimists may have the advantage in situations where resources and opportunities are limited, such as a down stock market, while optimists may fare better in situations where persistence is rewarded in the face of adversity.

		Pessimist has always been my project from the start, problem is that [some] musicians in the band essentially had creative differences.
		It is very refreshing to work together with musicians that are willing to push the extremities of death metal, in terms of speed and technicality, and have a similar vision, in terms of creativity.

	Are you an optimist or a pessimist? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Most people, even extreme optimists and pessimists, think their view is realistic.
		Better to say you're not particularly or consistently optimistic or pessimistic if that's what you mean, than to say ``realistic'' and sound like you're boasting that anyone who sees things differently has got it wrong.
		I think that many people who are called optimists or pessimists by other people react badly to it, because it sounds like it's implying that their outlook isn't realistic.

		Being one of the few bands left that still manage to keep the genre of death metal interesting, while not pushing it's boundaries, Pessimist are well-respected and deservedly so.
		Produced by Erik Rutan, the album is equally potent in it's intense sound as the songs themselves are crafted by the band themselves.
		I held a pessimistic view in regards to the state of death metal, but Pessimist showed me that some bands still remember how to do it.

	Pessimist - Death Metal
		One of the last bands to approach this style with some class, Pessimist roar out pummeling death metal with the energy of fresh wound arterial gushing.
		In Pessimist the violence keeps flowing as its gestures of demented immersion pour energetic repulsion into one another.
		Where this band really delights is in keeping an original idea in "heavy" death metal alive, but through careful structure and alignment, isolating the necessary counteractive impulses within a careful gatefield of tasteful riffs, intelligent transitions, and pummeling collaboration between texture and percussion.

		Pessimist, one of the hardest working death metal bands in the scene right now, are working on their third full-length album "Slaughtering the Faithful" (due out in the fall) after suffering a major line-up change.
		This band has changed constantly...we've always tried to progress as musicians, and make the heaviest and most extreme music we can, regardless of what the current trend is. Obviously we've had some lineup changes as well, so in that respect I can say that the band is now refined, and more focused than before.
		Since re-forming Pessimist in '93, I have seen a lot of things happen for this band and we've gone from playing Tues nite shows opening for cover bands, to our 1st European Tour, getting signed and releasing 2 CDs so far, and playing fests all over the US.

	Are you a defensive Pessimist? Take this quiz to find out!
		Defensive pessimists lower their expectations to help prepare themselves for the worst.
		Both strategic optimists and defensive pessimists typically do quite well, but both groups are also vulnerable to situations that don't accommodate their strategies.
		My experimental research shows that if defensive pessimists try to raise their expectations, or avoid playing through a worst-case analysis, their anxiety increases and their performance suffers.
