One and half years after PESTILENGTH dropped their crushing third album “Solar Clorex“, the corrosive Death Metal mavericks return with a sublime pair of digital-only tracks – composed and recorded during the SC sessions.
01. Failure Décor
02. Inane
Both new pieces from the Basque Country duo are succinct exaltations in smeared abstraction and obscure horror – contrasting churning low-end bludgeon with disturbing atmospherics.
Listen here and via the band’s YouTube channel:
Composer M comments:
“These two textured frequencies are the hidden side behind the debris of a total demolished entity, the underlayers of corroded existence: the reach of a dwelling sorrow in every human being. Death is the longest path to wander.“
“Failure Décore/Inane” is available to purchase digitally via DMP’s Bandcamp store. CD and vinyl editions of the band’s acclaimed last album “Solar Clorex” – including merch – are still available to purchase from the label’s EU, US (no merch) and Bandcamp shops.
In early 2018 the anonymous duo PESTILENGTH emerged from the Basque Country with a twisted, contemporary-yet-classic style of extremity which they called ‘corrosive Death Metal’.
After a well-received series of demos and singles, in 2020 the band released first full-length, “Eilatik“, described by No Clean Singing webzine as: “…absolutely vicious at all times. It rips and tears in a frenzy, and pounds without mercy or remorse.“
By the end of 2020, the band had received worldwide attention among labels, blogs, and musicians. Additional EP “Apore Flesh” was enthusiastically praised by LEVIATHAN‘s Jef Whitehead for reaching “… far beyond the world of copycats of the ‘underground'” in “khaotick shards of thought-provoking metalz of dementia”. A split with Mexican band REVERENCE TO PAROXYSM had followed soon afterwards the same year.
In August 2021, PESTILENGTH‘s monstrous sophomore album “Basom Gryphos” was unleashed to widespread critical acclaim. The album contained eight new songs whose cerebral slithering brutality was mirrored in the striking cover art by Namurian Visions.
In 2023 the band inked a deal with Debemur Morti Productions for the release of their third album.
