PESTILENT DEATH (USA) – ‘Chapters of Depravity’ LP

As you’ll hear across these eight individual chapters contained within, theirs is a filthy-yet-brooding style of TOTAL DEATH METAL – by death metal maniacs, for death metal maniacs – that succeeds through simplicity of design and absolute gutsfucking heaviness. The specter of early ’90s Finland looms large across these Chapters of Depravity as well as the tendrils of influence the original Swedeath wave spread across the underground, but instead of offering slavish replication of yesteryear, PESTILENT DEATH instead spit out a rottenly fresh take on pummeling putridity.
