Background information about 'Malleus Maleficarum (Re-Release 2023)'

Pestilence's seminal debut album "Malleus Maleficarum" serves as a cornerstone in the evolution of death and thrash metal genres. Originally released in 1988, this album has been remastered to introduce a new generation to its brutal yet precise musicianship. The relentless pace and aggressive riffs are paired with complex structures that demonstrate the technical prowess of the band.
