 Pestilence - Progressive Death Metal/Speed Metal
One of the foundational acts of death metal, Pestilence began recording in the late eighties and started providing more complex, musically expository translations of death and speed metal ideas in several classic albums.
Pounding undulation of drums in the speed metal style matches cadence to a chanted vocal which is hoarse in the style of early Sodom more than death metal, howling a near-hiss of vocal overprojection, beating out the heartbeat tradition of speed metal/death metal in the crossover style of Germany in the middle 1980s.
All things negative said, this album remains one of the premier items in the Pestilence discography for its ambition and the creativity of songwriting in fourth generation music from one of the founding acts of death metal.

 PESTILENCE, Wiliam Roberts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
This is the setting for the two interlocking stories of Pestilence that vividly convey the flavor of the times: the saga of a young Arab out to avenge his family by assassinating the king of France, and a small town in rural Wales.
But the value of Pestilence lies primarily in its writing, not its research: it is the story of humanity at its most basic, of a time when profound despair swept through Europe.
Faced with all consuming fears — the belief that the wrath of God was at hand, and that evidenced by plague wrought death and destruction — and the basic struggle to survive, peasants and bishops alike found themselves joined in the danse macabre.

 Pestilence Biography/Discography
Holland's Pestilence is generally regarded as one of the leaders of the late-'80s/early-'90s death metal scene, following closely behind Death as innovators in the genre.
Combining elements of Slayer, Celtic Frost, Venom, and the Possessed, Pestilence was an underappreciated and short-lived outfit that, along with peers Sepultura, Atheist, and Morbid Angel, helped broaden and redefine the definition of death metal.
However, mounting inter-band tensions found van Drunen departing Pestilence prior to the recording of 1991's Testimony of the Ancients, the frontman apparently not gelling with Mameli and Uterwijk's more progressive leanings.
