PESTILENT DEATH (California, USA) - Pestilent Death (new LP copy; not sealed) (2019) Released by Blood Harvest & Rotted Life Records on Traditional Black vinyl - limited to 300 copies.  (LP IMPORTED FROM SWEDEN) 
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 full-length 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 guts-fucking heaviness. 
The specter of early '90s Finland looms large across these Chapters of Depravity as well as the tendrils 
of influence the original Swe-Death 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. **album review originally published on bloodharvestrecords.bandcamp.com** Blood Harvest – YOTZ19-015LP , Rotted Life – ROTTED08LP
