PATHOLOGY (USA) - The Everlasting Plague (sealed LP copy) (2021) Released by Nuclear Blast on Re-Agent Green vinyl - limited to 1,000 copies. 
By now, on their 11th full-length studio offering, Pathology have mastered the Death Metal style and its best to stick to their strengths instead of trying to branch out like some bands do. Fans know exactly what to expect with The Everlasting Plague: creative riffs over speedy drums with deep voice vocals and breakdown after breakdown. 
This is a band that knows how to create brutal and intense breakdowns, similar to Dying Fetus or Cephalic Carnage. While all of the breakdowns are fantastic, the ending of “Perpetual Torment” stands out from an impressive bunch.  Also worth mentioning is the impressive album artwork created by Pär Olofsson.
The musicianship of band leader Dave Astor (drums), Daniel Richardson (guitar) 
and Ricky Jackson (bass) is technical and on point. The double bass drum
 playing is remarkable, sounding like a sprint over already fast paced 
drumming. The riffs are creative, heavy but with a lot of melodic 
overtones. The bass playing is solid and thick. 
There is a lot of depth 
to the music and always something new to catch the ear. They also end 
the album with “Decomposition of Millions,” one of the most ferocious 
instrumentals in recent memory.
Pathology are a band that play Death Metal music for Death Metal 
fans. They don’t throw in any curveballs and keep the album brutal 
throughout the 12 tracks. 
The Everlasting Plague is a must listen for all fans of heavy music.  Nuclear Blast – 6007-1
