I was able to listen to the first 8 or 9 songs from the new album on the way to work today and it seems kinda average so far... it sounds great on a sound system but I bet if I listened to it on headphones I'd turn it off and put in Consuming Impulse.

Dehydration II so far is my favorite song on the album.

The new album makes me furious, since it's such a transparently disingenuous POS.

Just because it sucks doesn't mean it's disingenuous. It's not like they're going to make a lot of money from that album anyways.

First, they may not make a lot of money for it, but they may have unrealistic hopes.
Second, it's possible to be insincere and manipulative without monetary reward as the goal or sole goal.

Nah, I still think they only reformed because of a mid-life crisis or something. They're smart enough to know that metal doesn't sell nowadays, unless it's extremely trendy pop metal released on a mainstream label. I still think that Resurrection Macabre is a sincere attempt to relive Pestilence's past glory days, and the result was a very average death metal album.

I just love how some people always seem to think to know what goes on in Patrick Mameli's head.

Yeah, I seem to be one of the few people who agrees with you. I also think that the album turned out pretty good. The riffs are really awesome, and Mameli still has a nice growl. Hate Suicide would be my personal favorite song on this record.

I love Resurrection Macabre. The album has nearly no weak songs. It's brutal, but also kinda catchy. I guess you can say the same thing about Consuming Impulse. Just awesome Death metal =)

HangMan makes me smile sometimes because of the association with the word game, but you know it's not exactly about that ^^

The new album is a great album, very good sonority, death metal at its best! The first two songs are very powerful, giving an lots of energy and making the path for an headbanging album! Very good job from Pestilence!

I was really disappointed with "Ressurrection Macabre". Aside from maybe 2 or 3 songs, the rest of the songs sounded indistinguishable from one another. Very generic.

Pestilence is a great band. I got into them when Consuming Impulse came out and saw them when they opened for Death on the Spiritual Healing tour. Consuming Impulse and Testimony of the Ancients are still my favorites...although I don't mind the stuff that has come since. IMO Consuming Impulse is one of the best death metal albums of that era...I still listen to it on a regular basis.

I think it kicks ass.

On Facebook,

I work at a health food store that averages around 1200 customers per day (that's paid transactions, meaning the actual number of walk-ins is much higher). Aside from us essentials, the entire town locked down for months over a high of 30 cases out of 100k residents. One person died in hospital -- an old sick man. One of our locations in another town was forced to shut down for two weeks while a specialized sanitation task force cleaned up due to three asymptomatic employees testing positive.

When we started reopening society, there were soccer tournaments with dozens of players and their parents across two fields. The rec center was host to hundreds of kids and their families partaking in water park festivities over the weekend.

Yet people here would still cry over a band performing to a live audience. The hypocrisy of what's acceptable during this time is ridiculous. Good on Pestilence for telling them to shove it.
