PESTILENCE - Malleus Maleficarum LP

Unquestionably one of the most original and vicious bands ever born in Europe, Pestilence easily gained a respectable status of cult band along these years. At the time, few believed in them because many were seeing a faded copy of early Death for the influences in their music but other ones, fortunately, were capturing something more from their musical expression and they were able to see the core of a band in constant change. The beginning is in death/thrash style for the demos and with the first, great album Malleus Maleficarum, the violent, schizophrenic music was already filtrated through a non common technique and a sense of progressive music. The atmosphere in these tracks is one of the gloomiest ones in that period and still nowadays many bands cannot match it. The violence, the impact and the darkness were the essential elements of Pestilence in that magic period.
