Pestilence – Chronic Infection
Biography
Enschede, The Netherlands (1986 – 1994, 2008 – present)
Pestilence started in the Netherlands in mid 1986 as a thrash metal band. The lineup, consisting of Patrick Mameli (guitar, vocals), Randy Meinhard (guitar), and Marco Foddis (drums), recorded two demos before gaining the attention of Roadrunner Records. After the first demo, Martin van Drunen (bass, vocals) joined them. These two demos - Dysentery (1986) and The Penance (1987) - are raw, sounding mostly like a cross between Possessed and Schizophrenia-era Sepultura. After signing to Roadrunner Records, Pestilence released their debut album titled Malleus Maleficarum in 1988, further refining their approach to thrash metal. The new material was tighter and more focused than the demos. Shortly thereafter, guitarist Randy Meinhard left the band to pursue other musical goals in a new band named Sacrosanct.
Meanwhile, Pestilence recruited a new guitar player by the name of Patrick Uterwijk.

I've been a fan of 'em for quite some time now. I started with Spheres and I thought it was impressive. I remember many fans did not like that one, well I hope more fans appreciate it now and those who didn't like it... gave it a 2nd chance or even a 3rd chance. It's my favorite album by them. My 2nd favorite is Doctrine, followed by Consuming Impulse.

don't call it consvming impvsle for god's sake. pestilence embodies latin about as much as a teenager and it's embarrassingly close to kvlt. I know what it says on the album cover and I'm thankful most people can ignore the v's
