PESTILENCE released their first studio record since the critically acclaimed Spheres full-length(1994) with 2009’s Resurrection Macabre (Mascot Records). The band currently features vocalist/guitarist Patrick Mameli (C-187), returning bassist Jeroen Paul Thesseling (Obscura), new drummer Yuma Van Eekelen (The New Dominion, Brutus) and guitarist Patrick Uterwijk. The band posted a new song called “Amgod I” to their MySpace page recently [http://www.myspace.com/pestilenceofficial]. According to the band, “It’s just a rehearsal [recording] with new drummer Yuma. Just guitars and drums…but it turned out pretty sick and we wanted to share!”
For interviews, interested parties should reply with TWO (2) possible time slots and a contact number as usual…
