I grow up on Europen stylish death metals.. Every country means for me means a band : Netherland - Pestilence, Sweden - Dismember, France - Massacra, UK - Bolt Thrower, Poland -Vader.. and so on..
martin vandrunen is the greatest death metal vocalist of all time, hands down. when he left, pestilence went to the toilet. asphyx was and is still great.
Awesome live performance from the mighty Pestilence .....really cool to hear Martin singing on this since he left the band before they recorded the Testimony album
THRASH and death metal rules, anyways I'm still sticking with Malleus Malleficarum as my favorite Pestilence album, Consuming Compulse is also great shit, the others are good shit but not my favorites.
Interesting to see the title track off the 3rd Pestilence album in it's primordial stage,and being performed by the most revered line-up of Pestilence (Mameli/Van Drunen/Uterwijk/Foddis).
Most people are still unaware that Patrick Mameli was their original vocalist,before Martin Van Drunen joined the band (his vocals are on the "Dysentry" demo).
