Pestilence appreciation thread

Definitely a band that needs more appreciation than they receive.

They sure do, good call RF. Testimony of the Ancients would be my favourite, even down to the artwork. I'm ashamed to say that I haven't heard anything from their latest effort yet



which album do you like yourself ?

Testimony of the Ancients is my favorite of theirs as well.

Testimony was an ultra-disappointment and prevented me from going further, but the first two are incredible. Several of my favorite death metal songs can be found in those.

i liked everything up through Testimony, with Consuming Impulse being my favourite. i also thought Resurrection Macabre was a fantastic comeback.

I've got all their stuff.
Their recent release, Resurrection Macabre doesn't have much by the way of solos, but the riffs are awesome.

First 3 definitely get a lot of play.

I only have Spheres. I've been meaning to check out their earlier works.

Consuming impulse is my favorate, killer artwork.

"Resurrection Macabre was a fantastic comeback" best quote in this thread.

Love this band! They were actually the first death metal band I ever got into!!!

"Consuming Impulse" is my favorite, but that may be because of nostalgia factors.

Testimony is an all time favorite of mine. Highly underrated.

WOW! StarsDestroy! Good to see you here. It's been a while.

I was just checking out No Life Til Metal because I've always enjoyed reading your reviews, and decided to stop by. I'm surprised I still remember my password. Hope you're doing well my fellow Overkill neck wrecker!

Doing great! Stick around. Always good to have you around. Overkill diehards united.

(Even if I do like the LA Kings and Philadelphia Flyers!)

HaHa It's all good as long as you're not a Red Wings fan!

Red Wings SUCK!

First two albums are classics. We Dutchies sure knew our way around death metal.

Agreed 99.5% because I do not spell favorite with a "u".

Been into these guys since Consuming Impulse. Definitely deserve more recognition!

I always make that damn mistake, thanks for bringing it up, I should learn now.

I'm one of the oddballs who likes "Spheres" best. "Testimony" is epic, and a great record, but "Spheres" just has this interesting & cool vibe that I totally dig. I just love the whole "spacy" feel to it, and the sound is just great.

Its hard to beat Consuming Impulse but Testimony is a great album as well.

Oddly enough all I have is 'Spheres'. It's great whenever there are few vocals. And sometimes everything is doing something imaginative except for the riff, which occasionally goes nowhere. Mameli sounded better on the stuff I heard from the previous albums. I need to get those.

"Consuming Impulse" is a masterpiece of a death metal album.

Really, death metal rarely sounds better than this to me.

PLEASE GET THEM OUT OF MY BODYYY


also the main riff of 'Medwton' by Believer is almost the same riff.
