	Metal-Rules.com - PESTILENCE: Where Are They Now?
		This classic band was one of the many to fall from grace during the mid ‘90s when the death metal scene became saturated with mediocre bands and the world (or at least America) had turned its ears to grunge.
		Pestilence was faced again with the challenge of replacing a member, being without a vocalist and bassist.
		Pestilence mixed jazz-fusion elements into their patented death metal style, and through the heavy use of synth guitars throughout the album, they created a new and unique approach to death metalsomething the genre needed at that point in time.

	Pestilence - Progressive Death Metal/Speed Metal
		While some riffs bear heavy metal heritage and many are familiar from second-tier speed metal bands, the grandeur of articulation is emphasized in scenario defining phrases which as in classical music are distinguished by their balance of harmony within melody more than coherence to a central harmonic structure.
		Instrumentation and arrangement are precise and concepts stridently independent and resurgently antisocial in redefinition of social virus to match mental illness in the sublimated iconography subtextually encoded in phrase shape and song narrative.
		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.

		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.

	The Cynical Sphere - CYNIC: THE DUNGEONS ARE CALLING
		Tony, prior to your work with PESTILENCE, you were working with ATHEIST, and it was even mentioned that you had become a full-time member of that band at one point.
		"But PESTILENCE had this U.S. tour, and it was very beneficial to me, 'cause I was touring with Paul and Sean (PESTILENCE supported DEATH on the first leg of their recent U.S. tour), we were all gonna return at the same time, we were all together.
		Though there are plenty of bands that we listen to that are very simple and that have two changes in their songs, that are just totally pleasant, beautiful stuff, that we can totally get into also, but yeah, there's that whole technical side that, it's just so intense and so amazing to our ears.

	Metal Rules!!: Pestilence / Sacrosanct
		Well, I knew the band from the very beginning and was asked to join them on the same day he left.
		Since I told the band before the release of "Tragic Intense" that I was about to leave if we would not get any positive reactions and go on tour for at least two months or so, you can imagine how the story continued...
		A band not knowing what their lyrics are about seems pretty obscure to me. The other songs were "Kartel" and "The Observer".

	Pestilence - Spheres
		PESTILENCE was a band I revered for their creativity and, early on, their raw energy and aggressive musical demeanor.
		The vocals are still PESTILENCE but the band have taken a new approach to songwriting, employing far more Jazz and Fusion influences while blending in the more classey elements of Death Metal.
		Last word on the band was that they parted ways shortly after this release and several members found there way into Jazz and Fusion projects.

		I really like these bands; the music is heavy but has a solid groove that makes you just want to whup somebody.
		I think when they recorded their first album, the oldest one in the band was 17, and they were touring with Metal Church and Anthrax.

		My other band, Fiend, is finally getting back together and on track after roughly a year or so of absolutely no progress.
		Now, I’ve always wanted to play the drums, but ironically I was in the school band when I was in 2nd grade, playing the snare, but got out because I said it was stupid.

	MARTIN VAN DRUNEN
		The fact that in all those bands, Martin Van Drunen was the vocalist for a certain period and influenced their sound through his original and charismatic vocals.
		We were in contact with a band called TYPHONE, we were friends with them, and their vocalist Lou had a sort of birthday-party where lots of people came to.
		Normally as a band of a label it shouldn't be a problem to get something like 5 copies to give to friends or family, but not with Roadrunner.

		Then we have a lot of venues where bands are able to play and a lot of maniacs who come to the shows.
		Q: Even if Pestilence has strong roots in thrash metal, the way you played at that time was already a step furtherI mean you were from the first wave of Death Metal.

		These men caught up with the little band of missionaries on the third day after their departure, and at once returned with them, Gregory offering no opposition, since he had received what appeared to him as a sign from heaven that his enterprise should be abandoned.
		Pestilence followed on the floods, and Rome became a very city of the dead.
		This was accordingly done, and the memory of the event is still preserved by the name "Sant' Angelo" given to the mausoleum of Hadrian from the legend that the Archangel St. Michael was seen upon its summit in the act of sheathing his sword as a sign that the plague was over.

		Pestilence had truly learned how to write good songs by this point in their career.
		The band goes full-on prog metal for sections of the closer, "Stigmatized", which paves the way for Pestilence's final studio record, "The Sphere", a CD that pushed them to another level of technicality before the group disbanded at a creative impasse.
		Now that it's dying, they realize no real extreme metal bands (Cradle of Filth doesn't count, if fl metal or supposed fl metal as they are got any more mainstream it would be sick) want to sign to their label because of the crappy treatment.

	Am I Right - Inappropriate Song Lyrics, Metallica
		In this case the writer has mistaken pestilence (a usually fatal epidemic) for petulence (a bad temper or peevishness) you can't put others through pestilence...
		The pestilence (or the disease) is the effect (or punishment that is endured) for the cause: what has been done to others.
		The song isn't saying that the recipient of the pestilence has put others through pestilence, but that he is receiving pestilence because of what he's put others through.

		They started out in 1992 with the band name Mordor — in 2001 they released their last album Berzerker Legions and today they are out with Pestilence Empire.
		Pestilence Empire is a pretty good album, and I would recommend it to fans of Exmortem and extreme death in general.
		Pestilence empire could be recorded in early nineties, becaus e it sounds really similar to this epoch bands, specially Deicide and Morbid Angel.

	THE METAL OBSERVER - Review - PESTILENCE - Spheres
		In the liner notes, the band writes "there are no keyboards on this album", okay, then you open the booklet and it lists 24 different effects modulators which the band uses on the album.
		They are simply not of the musical capacity to play the ideas they attempt to convey, and this fact is made especially obvious when the drummer goes for a fill or a beat that he simply cannot pull off.
		I must also say that I greatly admire what the band is trying for here, and had they developed these ideas further, we might have been graces with some very cool music from them later on.

		The drumming is loud in the mix and loaded with blast beats like any death metal band, but it's varied enough so it doesn't sound like the same song over and over.
		On their third album, Testimony of the Ancients, Pestilence changed to a "technical death" band (along the lines of Atheist or Death).
		Progressive bands like Death, Cynic, Atheist, and Sadus, were all signed to Roadrunner Records, but I don't know why they really switched.

	Oppressor - Guttural Death Metal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		From the midwest comes a grind/death band with hopes of technicality and extreme brutality in a style influenced by aspects of both European and American death metal in the New York style.
		Heavy beat blasts and chugging riffs emerge throughout this album contiguously with song development, with an impressive range of performance and energy thrust into the alternately pummeling and driftingly harmonizing music.
		Connected in construction and comfortable in aesthetic rendering of concept, in a sense endemic to various breeds of scruff rock, but here the band bypass temptations of mainstream social and monetary power for an essential view into growth in the death metal scene at the time.

		Former PESTILENCE singer Martin Van Drunen, who was originally supposed to take part in the PROJEKT TABUN recording sessions, will not join the project due to "personal reasons," according to Thesseling.
