Ferocious and mesmerizing, this release from Germany’s PEST channels savage chaos through a veil of trance-inducing melodies and eerie ambience. Rooted firmly in the stripped-down Norse tradition of black metal, PEST deliver a raw, unrelenting sound that honors the genre’s early spirit while carving their own distinct path.
To clarify—this is the same PEST responsible for the highly regarded Ara album, initially self-released and later issued on tape by Ketzer and CD by Full Moon Productions. This MLP features reimagined versions of classic tracks alongside brand new material, showcasing the band’s evolution while remaining true to their underground roots.
The release includes five songs, plus an intro and outro, clocking in at over 25 minutes of unfiltered black metal intensity. A must for those drawn to the raw, atmospheric extremity of the German scene.
