PESTILENCE: Patrick Mameli on Australian Tour, New Album ‘Portals” and Current Metal Scene

For the first time ever and finally, legendary extreme Dutch metal act PESTILENCE conquer Australian territory! PESTILENCE was one of the first major bands to emerge from the Dutch metal underground of the 1980’s. While all the other groups from that era have since vanished into ancient history, PESTILENCE is as vital, relevant, and ambitious as ever. In their early beginnings the band wrote history with its albums Consvming Impvlse, Testimony Of The Ancients and Spheres – all albums that helped shaped death metal as we know it.

The Everblack Podcast spoke to Patrick Mameli from PESTILENCE about their upcoming Australian Tour, New Album ‘Portals” and his thoughts on the current Metal scene.

With a powerful back catalog and their new material, ABRAMELIN is ready to obliterate everything in their path.
