Exitivm

A new album, on a new label armed with a whole new line-up and a new dynamic: no matter what, Pestilence or more specifically their maestro Patrizio Mameli are like the Phoenix, rising from the ashes, over and over again. Recorded over two months last summer and armed with the crispiest production they've ever had, their ninth full-length is titled 'Exitivm' for a reason. Meaning 'brutal destruction' in Latin, those ten new tracks (plus one intro and one outro) are brutal yet progressive, drenched in a sci-fi atmosphere and transfigured by Mameli luminous solo work and subtle keyboards layers. Both a reinvention and a confirmation of everything the band has been standing for since 1986, thirty-five years later Pestilence are more than ever exploring the further outposts of the extreme metal sound on 'Exitivm'.
