Pestilence announce new drummer

News from the camp of Dutch death metallers Pestilence:

"Right before the drum recordings for the new Pestilence album 'Exitivm' for current label Agonia Records, we got the news from Septimiu Harsan, that he wil not be a part of this historic event.

Recent developments regarding the covid-19 pandemic, the financial aspect and travel situation made him decide to stop pursuing a carreer in music on a professional level.

We, Rutger van Noordenburg, Joost van der Graaf and mr. Pestilence himself, ofcorpse, wish him health and all the best for the future.

BUT THIS DOES NOT STOP US from delivering you the virus, that is the black plague, to your ears. We contacted Hollands finest, Michiel van der Plicht, to record 'Exitivm' for us. After hearing the raw demos he was very excited to say the least.

Michiel, who is also the live drummer for Carach Agren, is currently negotiating with them, about the possibilities of playing live for Pestilence as well. But for now we will focus on recording the album with him and see what happens in the future."

Michiel van der Plicht had this to say about recording the 'Exitivm' material for the band:

"I'm very proud to be playing on the upcoming Pestilence album. Be prepared!"
