Description
Pestilence pioneered death metal by blending progressive and jazz elements. Pestilence, a Dutch band formed in the 1980s, dominated harsh metal with their 1991 album “Testimony of the Ancients.” Their more intricate and technically proficient songwriting style set them apart from their colleagues on this album. The intellectually and thematically rich “Testimony of the Ancients” explored decay, death, and the human condition, expanding death metal.
The lyrics and music of “The Prodigal Son” and “Mind Reflections” demonstrate the album’s growth. Pestilence’s distinctive sound was built by renowned drummer Tony Choy and guitarist Patrick Mameli. It pioneered death metal by blending ferocity and delicacy. Because Pestilence combined aggression and tastefulness, “Testimony of the Ancients” became a metal classic, and many bands followed suit.
