Dutch death metal legends PESTILENCE – who are currently midway through their European tour – drop the second single from their upcoming, re-recorded best-of album, “Levels of Perception”, set for release on April 26th via Agonia Records. The album features twelve tracks from across the band’s 38-year career. Listen to “Sinister”, here:
Patrick Mameli – whose signature vocal, guitar and songwriting skills constitute the hallmark of PESTILENCE – finds “Levels of Perception” to be a testament to the band’s role in death metal’s progression. “I’ve always wanted to do a best-of album, because it would mean that I’ve achieved something in the past; something that still has its value today,” Mameli reflects. “To be able to choose from songs that I composed in the distant past, transporting them into the now, with the line-up of the recordings that consisted of Michiel van der Plicht (drums), Rutger van Noordenburg (guitar) and Joost van der Graaf (bass) – I found this to be of great value and sheer awesomeness.”
