Resurrection Macabre

[Plastic Nathrakh]

Why does he sound like Frank Mullen?

 

[Plastic Nathrakh]

Listen to his pronunciation!

 

[Reign in Acai]

Well that was lackluster as all hell.

 

[Ars Magna]

The pronunciation you praise is coming from a man who shit all over the very style (and audience he is trying to connect with) a while back. This release reeks of profit. Despite all of this, I was hoping for a great album. Unfortunately, sincerity is nowhere to be found on the tracks I have heard so far.

 

[Plastic Nathrakh]

I didn't say I praised his pronunciation. It sounds like Frank Mullen. Insincere? Sure.

I think its an unexpected sound, but not necessarily bad at all. I like everything they've recorded and not just because its them. They always change a bit with each release, and since its been 16 years since Spheres, they had some catching up to do with style shifts. I like it quite a bit.

This album sucks... half the fucking riffs are riffs from prior albums, and what's new is sub par. Not the release I was expecting from Pestilence for sure.

 

[Reign in Acai]

After checking out Devouring Frenzy & Horror Detox i'm inclined to agree. 16 years to come up with something as quality as Testimony of the Ancients and what we're served with is a very poor man's Bloodbath. Chugga Chugga horrar detocks! Oh Babu.

chinese democracy?

This release reeks of profit.

How much profit can one expect to reap from a death metal album?

I'm not saying they are making Slayer-like $, I'm just saying that I don't see much point in coming back to play regurgitated riffs after completely disprespecting the scene as a whole when you decided to make your exit the first time. I guarantee you this record (and the resulting shows) are making one hell of a lot more than anything else he (Mamelli) would have been doing musically. Let's face it, Tony Choy doesn't play for meals. If he is on board, there is $ being made.

This is true. Point made.

One thing I found strange was the style of vocals he chose. On the limited edition version(which I own) they added rerecorded versions of Chemo Therapy, Out of the Body, and Lost Souls. He clearly can still perform his trademark vox but decides to do those death growls throughout the album. Strange to me.

Meh, the only song that really "sucks" is Y2H. What a piece of shit.

but lets be honest Pestilence was never that big a deal. there is a reason why most DM bands fell off the map a long time ago.
