Biography:

One of death metal's foundational acts, Pestilence began recording in the late eighties and started providing more complex, more musically educated translations of death and speed metal ideas in several classic albums. With 1994's "Spheres" they spent their progressive urge in a highly technical but heavily synthesized album that gained little acceptance among death metal bands; declaring it a loss, the remaining members charged off into fusion bands. Their cult debut album was never before released in Europe and is deleted in the US for years now. It's time to re-release this classic piece of death metal. With the return of popularity of death and thrash metal it's the perfect timing. The CD also includes both demos from '86 and '87. All above mentioned recordings have been remastered to give it an up-to-date sound, although nothing of the orginal sound and impact has been damaged.
