This May, iconic dutch death metallers, Pestilence, will kick off a headlining tour of Asia. The band will take a break from working on their tenth studio album, Portals, to play select venues in Turkey, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, China, Thailand, Taiwan and Japan.
Pestilence comments: “We’re truely blessed to be able announce and share the following information with all you metalheads out there in… Asia. Pestilence will be infecting your eardrums. Make sure to get your ticket and go to this epic event. Come and say hi or take a sefie with us, showing us some Death Metal love. Pestilence Can´t wait to see you all!”
Pestilence was established in the Netherlands in 1986 and is considered to be a genre-defying, progressive death metal phenom, who paved the way alongside Death, Cynic and Atheist. The group is led by founder, guitarist and mastermind Patrick Mameli, who’s been the band’s binding factor through two breakups and reunions. Both a reinvention and a confirmation of everything the band has been standing for since 1986, Pestilence is more than ever breaking new grounds and exploring the further outposts of extreme metal on Exitivm (2021) – their last album, which landed on several Billboard charts, most notably including Billboard 200.
In recent years, the band remastered & reissued its classic catalog (feat. Mallevs Maleficarvm, Consvming Impvlse, Testimony Of The Ancients and Spheres), released a re-recorded best-of album Levels Of Perception, and announced Portals to be the title of its next studio album, which is presently nearing its completion.
