PESTILENCE x Asakusa Deathfest 2019
Get ready for the plague because the living Death Metal legends PESTILENCE are finally landing in Japan this year!
Formed in 1986 as a Thrash Metal band, they gradually shifted to a more brutal and heavy sound that was evident in their 2nd album "Consuming Impulse", released in 1989. This is considered by and large to be one of the best Death Metal albums of all time! By their 3rd album, PESTILENCE implemented more progressive and technical song structures which became a mainstay in their later albums. Alongside DEATH, PESTILENCE was a pioneer of early Progressive Death Metal.
And over 30 years later, the band continued their aural onslaught with their latest album "Hadeon".
Beware of the pandemic! Because PESTILENCE is spreading their pus-soaked Death Metal disease at Asakusa Death Fest 2019!
80年後期から活動する生きるデスメタルレジェンド、オランダのPESTILENCEがついに日本上陸!
結成は1986年、スラッシュメタルバンドとしてスタート。蟻ジャケで知られるセカンドアルバム "Consuming Impulse" はデスメタル史に残る名盤の1枚。サードアルバム以降、よりテクニカルで複雑な楽曲となりDEATHと同じくプログレッシブ・テクニカルデスメタルの始祖的バンドの1つとなる。
2018年には8枚目となるフルアルバムをリリースし現在も失速することなくデスメタルシーンで活躍するベテラン。世界に名を轟かせるデスメタル超人が浅草をデスメタルの疫病を蔓延させる!
