Pestilence

Death metal band from Enschede, Overijssel, Netherlands, founded in 1986. Originally, a thrash metal laden band until around 1988. Changed direction to death metal, prior to the release of their 1989 sophomore release "Consuming Impulse". They broke up some time in the mid-1990's, though they reformed around 2008. Later and modern releases possess a more progressive death metal edge sound mixed with jazz fusion elements.
