I'm not a fan personally of all the short interludes between the main songs (Impure is especially egregious) but the songs are really good, easy 4.0 territory. Stigmatized especially sounds like it would feel right at home on Cynic's Focus; very good stuff

Another fantastic album by Pestilence, though this time the technicality has been upped a notch. The individual songs might be weaker than on Consuming Impulse, but the album as a whole flows really well. Much of this is due to the nice inteludes between every track. The album also features Tony Choy, who although doesn?t perform his usual magic, still gives a great performance.

Really did not dig this. It is not unpleasant and the first track is a jam with interesting sounds so it doesn't warrant a 2.0 range rating or less, but that's about all there is to it. Track 7 is kinda cool classic dm. There is one other cool heavy metal section in the middle of the closer. For the rest, the album progressively lost my interest. It has lots of weird interludes, out-of-place sounds that feel like they come out of some video game or parody horror movie, it has a plethora of wankery solos and bits and most of the riffs that should make up for it simply don't work. Pestilence definitely aren't good at doing slow music in my opinion, and they demonstrate that in track 3. 2.4

I dont know if "Consuming Impulse" or this is my favorite. Another superb album by Pestilence. The guitars in this album are orgasmic. My favorite moments from the album are "Presence of The Dead", "Stigmatized" and the guitar solo of "Land of Tears" and "Twisted Truth", which are one of my favorites of all time. Absolute DM classic.

Cool record. Patrick Mameli was on top level form here. Twisted Truth is definitely the best song.
