| * PESTILENCE * MIND REFLECTIONS + BONUSY (REEDYCJA) Ta holenderska grupa powstała w 1986 roku z inicjatywy gitarzystów Randy'ego Meinharda i Patrica Mameliego. Już od początku swojej działalności grupa znacznie wybijała się wśród innych metalowych formacji, łącząc w doskonały sposób death z thrash metalem. "Mind Reflections", który pierwotnie ukazał się w 1994 roku nakładem Roadrunner Records, jest piąta płytą w dorobku formacji. Na krążek ten złożyły się najlepsze kompozycje grupy z wszystkich 4 poprzednich krążków kapeli, niezwykle rzadki numer "Hatred Within" (wcześniej wydany tylko na składance "Teutonic Invasion Part II"), a także 6 numerów koncertowych, które wcześniej nie były wydane, a nagrane one zostały podczas festiwalu Dynamo Open Air w 1992 roku. ----- więcej ----- Ta reedycja wzbogacona jest również o unikalne bonusy! Album ukaże się w wersji digi i został on zremasterowany. Prawdziwa gratka nie tylko dla fanów formacji!
Pestilence won't require an introduction. Known for mixing various influences, from thrash to jazz and fusion with classic death metal, the band has become legendary a long time before their final split-up in 1993. This CD is a collection of their best songs, digitally remastered and enriched by an exclusive video for the title track "Mind Reflections" Biography Pestilence won't require an introduction. Known for mixing various influences, from thrash to jazz and fusion with classic death metal, the band has become legendary a long time before their final split-up in 1993. Patrick Mameli (guitar, vocals), Randy Meinhard (guitar) and Marco Foddis (drums) recorded first demo, Dysentery, in 1986, but it was only after The Penance, recorded in 1987 with a newly adjoined member, Martin van Drunen (bass/vocals), that the band caught the attention of Roadrunner Records, who agreed to release their first official album, Malleus Malficarum (1988). While the two demos were certainly rooted in a thrash metal tradition, the debut showed a raw, more aggressive, but also focused approach towards heavy sounds. Soon after the album was released, Randy Mainhard left the band. Pestilence continued its musical voyage, teaming up with a new guitarist, Patrick Uterwijk. In 1989 they released their second album - Consuming Impulse. The thrash influences have been swept away, as the band turned its efforts towards technical death metal. With the release of this album Pestilence brought upon itself international attention, quickly becoming a new death metal icon. Yet, before the follow-up LP was recorded, another change in the line-up occurred, as vocalist and bassist Martin van Drunen departed to front Asphyx. His successor was Tony Choy (Cynic). From now on, Patrick Mameli took over the vocal duties. With this line-up Pestilence released in 1991 their third album, Testimony Of The Ancients. This LP was not as aggressive as the former, but it showed a definitely more complex musicianship, backed by the best production in the band's history. Soon after the release Tony Choy left for Atheist and Pestilence enlisted Jeroen Paul Thesseling as their new bass player. Over the next few years the band intensively developed their style, incorporating ideas mostly from the jazz-fusion genre. The fourth and final album, Spheres (1993) brought along a thrilling mixture of jazz-fusion elements with death metal, which thanks to the heavy use of synth guitars presented a totally new quality in aggressive music. However brilliant the combination was, the album divided Pestilence's fans, being for some too controversial in its substance. The group also lost the support of its label and touring became more and more problematic. This caused growing tensions between the band members, which eventually lead to a split-up, due to, as the musicians claim themselves, reaching their "creative climax". But the story did not end here. In 1994 Roadrunner Records released Mind Reflections, which was a compilation of the band's best songs, along with one rare track and six live recordings. The result was more than satisfying - Mind Reflections truly unfold the band's best qualities, giving a perfect insight of Pestilence's creative genius throughout the seven years of its existence. Enriched by the ultra-rare track "Hatred Within" (previously available only on the Teutonic Invasion, Part II compilation from 1987) and six live tracks recorded at the Dynamo Open Air festival in 1992 (which remain to this day the band's only live material ever released), the record blends into a must-have for all Pestilence fans. "While you may like certain LPs better than others, each LP captures a moment of time and has its merits. The band's message has always been a consistent and simple one: open your mind - be alive - think! - challenge yourself - take chances - and never have any regrets." With these words comes an invitation to one of the most valuable and inspiring prodigies of the death metal scene - an invitation to Pestilence...
