Pestilence: 'Resurrection Macabre'

Netherland's technical jazzed-up death metallers Pestilence is currently finishing up their first record in 15 years. Expect more brutal, heavier and faster songs than any old Pestilence album. The album, entitled 'Resurrection Macabre', features eleven new tracks and the limited edition first print will include three re-recordings chosen by fans. 'Out of the Body', 'Chemo Therapy' and 'Lost Souls' were voted most.

The songs are lyrically more in the vein of 'Consuming Impulse'. Meaning, they’re more “reality-style” than religious or philosophical. Some songtitles are: 'HangMan' (into the mind of an executioner), 'Synthetic Grotesque' (trying to create through cloning), 'Fiend' (drug addiction), 'Resurrection Macabre' (the return of the Pestilence), 'Hate Suicide' (last hours of a suicide-bomber) just to name a few.

Expect a new track to be added to the band’s myspace www.myspace.com/pestilenceofficial before the end of this year.

'Resurrection Macabre' will be released March 16 2009 by Mascot Records.
