A Celebrated Performer At The Mega-Successful 70000 Tons Of Metal Cruise 2012 (The Band Performed Alongside Cannibal Corpse, My Dying Bride, Crowbar, Venom, Overkill And More) And Their 18-City 2010 North American Tour That Launched From Their Much Lauded Maryland Death Festival Appearance, Pestilence Will Once Again Excite Thrash/Death Metal Fans. Ten New Tracks Showcase The Band s Respected Musicianship And Signature Sound. Review: Pestilence--Obsideo - "Obsideo" is the third album since Pestilence returned to the music scene after a long absence. Patrick Mameli and Co. came back with 2009's "Resurrection Macabre", a crushing death metal assault that matched the intensity from the days of "Testimony of the Ancients", although neglected the band's more experimental aspects. Then, in 2011, Pestilence delivered "Doctrine", which went a completely different direction, re-establishing the weird tech death solos and bass lines, highlighted by the return of the master, J.P. Thesseling, on bass. But, not long after the release of "Doctrine", Thesseling left, and I worried that losing a prized, unique feature of the band might dampen my appreciation of their next album. Mameli and longtime guitar partner Patrick Uterwijk always deliver the goods, but I was highly bummed after I heard about the departure of Thesseling. Pestilence seemed to be on a decent roll after "Doctrine", so I really hoped it wouldn't interfere with the momentum the band has built since their comeback. It's 2½ years later, and now we have "Obsideo". This album does a nice job of combining the approaches of the two previous albums into a more realized, consistent batch of songs that offer everything from brutal death metal, spacey tech solos, bizarre guitar synth textures, and bouncy grooves ala "Spheres". My favorite tracks so far are "Transition" and "Laniatus", which would be good reference points for how the overall album sounds, as well as "Displaced". On "Doctrine", some complained about Mameli's odd, higher pitched, frequently cracking vocal style. On "Obsideo", he's reined it back in, and sounds nearly as brutal as on "Resurrection Macabre", although not quite as deep. The new bassist definitely does not have the same presence as J.P., but he contributes a fine performance, with a few nice flourishes here and there. The new drummer can play, peppering the album with tons of double bass, speedy fills, and precision blast beats. I don't hear any filler at all here, just ten dynamic songs in the 3½ minute range that capture those distinctive tones unique to Pestilence. It's a great addition to their discography. Review: Step up from the last album and I enjoyed that one! - Dig this album! I liked their last album but this one seems more focused. Bass enthusiasts will miss the departure of the old bass player Jean but I think it is the vocal delivery that sets Pestilence apart from many Death Metal bands. I like the delivery as it sounds more primal than many vocalists that use too many effects but still remain monotonous in their delivery. This vocalist has some vitriol in his delivery. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00EKJRYLA | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (42) | | Date First Available | August 16, 2013 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Label | CANDLELIGHT RECORDS | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | CANDLELIGHT RECORDS | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2015 | | Product Dimensions | 4.95 x 5.6 x 0.38 inches; 3.36 ounces | ## Images ![Obsideo - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Fo5hY8ykL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pestilence--Obsideo *by J***L on November 19, 2013* "Obsideo" is the third album since Pestilence returned to the music scene after a long absence.

Sharp, intelligent and ultimately satisfying. A must for all fans of original death metal. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/16004526-obsideo](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/16004526-obsideo) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
