LINK: Pestifer

To be short, we're talking about a Technical Death metal Band. Actually Technical wouldn't be the right word to describe the music. The fact is being technical is not the point of the music but People and zines seem more confortable with this word.

It's Pestifer and not Pestifier!!!

Pestifer is a latin Word. It means "bringer of plague"

In french, "Peste" means Plague.

Here are 2 songs from Youtube

Freshly re-mastered by Andy Classen

Excellent stuff dude. So happy to hear another death metal band that let's their bassist be heard. Absolutely love this. There's a great tech thrash band in Bosnia called After Oblivion, if y'all tour through their again you should look those guys and have them open for you or something.

That After Oblivion song sounds very inspired by later era Death. The vocalist really reminds me of Schuldiner especially on the later albums.

Nice Stuff man. I Like it !

Really good st00f man, congrats

That's true. I downloaded their EP "Vultures by Gun" which is for free download on their myspace, really good stuff.

We'd be glad to come back in Bosnia. Then we could manage to play with them. But we come from Belgium. Depends on where the next tour will happen.
