gckator Fantastic remaster of a classic death/thrash album. Favorite track: Chemo Therapy.

mourner I was so deeply impressed with this when it first came out that I still remember watching Mameli and van Drunen doing an interview for a metal format on German cable TV. This was my first really brutal album and therefor I love it dearly. First strike with the mighty Hexenhammer still extremely deadly. Favorite track: Parricide.

about

2023 re-release, remastered to significantly improve on overall audio quality. The remaster was done by Satanic Audio (Behemoth, Azarath).

“Malleus Maleficarum” is the debut album of PESTILENCE; a band’s whose input – that stretches across nearly 40 years – blazed the trail for generations of progressive death metal artists.

Every journey has a first step, and PESTILENCE has taken its in 1986, as a trio comprising Patrick Mameli (currently sole original member; at the time bassist, guitarist and vocalist), Randy Meinhard (guitars) and Marco Foddis (drums). With a 1987 demo “Dysentery” to their name, they were joined by Martin van Drunen, who took over vocal duties from Mameli; and, who - similarly to Mameli - is nowadays the sole original member of Apshyx. The fourpiece recorded a second demo, “The Penance”, and then moved onto completing the material for “Malleus Maleficarum”, which surfaced a year later, in September of 1988.

The album was originally released in cassette on RC Records (a sub-label of Roadracer Records, which later changed name to Roadrunner Records) and today, stands firmly as a monument of early-day death metal heavily mixed with thrash. “Malleus Maleficarum’s” history traces back to the beginnings of the genre; the album preceded Death’s “Leprosy” by a month, while Morbid Angel was yet to release its first album.

A must-have for all PESTILENCE fans, and a perfect looking glass into the dawning of a legendary group!

Commented by Patrick Mameli: “As we were still very young and unexperienced with recording an album in a studio, trying to find our own style, we managed just fine here. Very Thrashy style with some hints to Possessed, Slayer and Infernal Majesty”.

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal
