On their 1997 debut album 'Cult of the Initiated', PESSIMIST unleashed their brutality onto the international metal scene for the first time. The nascent band's effort displayed all the traits - the violent riffing, guttural vocal attack, and relentless pacing - that would become their calling card for the coming decades. This long out-of-print shrine of brutal American death metal is available once again! For fans of Pestilence, Vader and Morbid Angel.
