Pestilence sign with HammerHeart Records; announce bass player

Hammerheart Records is proud to announce co-operation with living legends Pestilence.

The label commented: "We are extremely proud to announce the signing of the Dutch death metal legends Pestilence, a band that we witnessed live for the first time in 1989 and followed on their path through time. If all goes right Pestilence will enter the studio in June 2017. This will be to record a completely new album called 'Hadeon', which marks a return to the sound Pestilence got famous with on 1992's 'Testimony of the Ancients', that is what the demos are sounding like! A release of the new record is scheduled to happen within 2017 if all works out as planned."

Hammerheart has also come to an agreement on the back catalogue... but plans are still in the works to get all details finalized concerning these essential recordings ('Malleus Maleficarum', 'Consuming Impulse', 'Testimony of the Ancients' and 'Spheres'). This will take some time, but the label hopes for reissues as deluxe 2-CD's and LP within 2017 as well.

And the new Pestilence bass guitarist for 'Hadeon' album and world tour is Tilen Hudrap.
