Pestilence - Malleus Maleficarum
Hammerheart Records
“Malleus Maleficarum” is the debut album of PESTILENCE; a band’s whose input – that stretches across nearly 40 years – blazed the trail for generations of progressive death metal artists.
Every journey has a first step, and PESTILENCE has taken its in 1986, as a trio comprising Patrick Mameli (currently sole original member; at the time bassist, guitarist and vocalist), Randy Meinhard (guitars) and Marco Foddis (drums). With a 1987 demo “Dysentery” to their name, they were joined by Martin van Drunen, who took over vocal duties from Mameli; and, who - similarly to Mameli - is nowadays the sole original member of Apshyx. The fourpiece recorded a second demo, “The Penance”, and then moved onto completing the material for “Malleus Maleficarum”, which surfaced a year later, in September of 1988.
