Hailing from Los Angeles, for nearly a decade now, PESTILENT DEATH have
pursued a stridently pure and pustulent form of death metal. Prolific
and proudly DIY, this power-trio belched forth a debut album in 2016
that laid bare exactly what PESTILENT DEATH is all about: Eulogies of
Putrefaction. Now, armed with the support of BLOOD HARVEST, they're
prepared to vomit their next disgusting chapter.
Appropriately titled Chapters of Depravity, PESTILENT DEATH's second
album consolidates all the band's strengths to date and compromises not
one fucking bit. As you'll hear across these eight individual chapters
contained within, theirs is a filthy-yet-brooding style of TOTAL DEATH
METAL - by death metal maniacs, for death metal maniacs - that succeeds
through simplicity of design and absolute gutsfucking heaviness. The
specter of early '90s Finland looms large across these Chapters of
Depravity as well as the tendrils of influence the original Swedeath
wave spread across the underground, but instead of offering slavish
replication of yesteryear, PESTILENT DEATH instead spit out a rottenly
fresh take on pummeling putridity.

Chapters of Depravity is required reading for all fans of PESTILENT
DEATH and anyone into the truest Metal of Death!
