Jeroen Paul Thesseling (Obscura/Ex-Pestilence) - Bass Players In Death Metal Should Be More Audible In The Mix
Dutch bass player Jeroen Paul Thesseling (Obscura/Ex-Pestilence) says most bassists should be more audible in death metal recordings. "In many of the death metal productions the bass guitar is simply absent or inaudible in the mix, which is a shame. Perhaps this is one of those aspects that will change as the genre evolves. We are lucky to have bassists like Steve DiGiorgio and Alex Webster, both of whom have contributed greatly to the death metal style of bass playing."
Further information can be found at www.jeroenthesseling.com and www.warwick.de
Thesseling joined the German progressive death metal band Obscura in 2007. He toured North America and recorded their second full-length album Cosmogenesis, released via Relapse Records in February 2009. This August, Obscura will embark on a European tour alongside ATHEIST. With PESTILENCE, Jeroen played on their fourth album, "Spheres" (1993).

Pestilence - New Album Details
Dutch death metallers Pestilence have posted the following update on their MySpace page:
"Pestilence is currently finishing up their first record in 15 years. Expect more brutal, heavier and faster songs than any old Pestilence album. The album, entitled 'Resurrection Macabre', features eleven new tracks and the limited edition first print will include three re-recordings chosen by fans. "Out of the Body", "Chemo Therapy" and "Lost Souls" were voted most.
The songs are lyrically more in the vein of 'Consuming Impulse'. Meaning, they're more "reality-style" than religious or philosophical. Some song-titles are: "HangMan" (Into the mind of an executioner), "Synthetic Grotesque" (Trying to create through cloning), "Fiend" (Drug addiction), "Resurrection Macabre" (The return of the Pestilence), "Hate Suicide" (Last hours of a suicide-bomber) just to name a few.
Expect a new track to be added to the band's myspace (http://www.myspace.com/pestilenceofficial) before the end of this year. The album cover can already be viewed here: http://www.mascotrecords.com/index.php?cid=3&pid=280

Pestilence - Touring With Former Guitarist Patrick Uterwijk
According to a posting on Blabbermouth Patrick Uterwijk will join Pestilence as touring guitarist.
Dutch guitarist/vocalist Patrick Mameli has released the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET regarding the upcoming album and tour from his resurrected late '80s/early '90s death metal outfit Pestilence: "Although previous statements about a Pestilence reunion with original members (which I think still isn't my intention), it's with great pleasure to announce that none other than Patrick Uterwijk will be touring once again with Pestilence next year. "After almost six years, I got in touch with Patrick U. through a mutual friend, Sean Sitka. He gave me Uterwijk's mail address and phone number stressing me I have to call the guy since Tymon K. wasn't gonna work out because of his involvement with CYNIC. We spoke for one and a half hour about the past and future. "Although he will not be recording for the new album, he got very excited about the new material as well. We also spoke about his illness because of the energy it takes to do a tour." Uterwijk said in a statement: "I'm feeling great and doctors think now I'm probably not suffering from M.S. at all (first diagnoses at the time made doctors think this was the case). This off course is great news as well!!!! So now, people can enjoy Pestilence live in an almost original and familiar setting!!!"
