PESSIMIST

The first re-release of the debut full-length studio album by cult American Brutal Death Metal band.
25 years after its recording, the cult debut album of Pessimist available again!
On the 1997 debut, Pessimist unleashed their brutality onto the international Metal scene for the first time. The nascent band's effort displayed all the traits - the violent riffing, guttural vocal attack, and relentless pacing - that would become their calling card for the coming decades.
"Cult of the Initiated" charted on CMJ Top 40 Loud Rock Charts and received acclaim from around the world. The band continued to play shows in the Mid-Atlantic region, opening for Cryptopsy, Nile, Gorguts, Dying Fetus, Vader, Monstrosity, and festival appearances at Milwaukee Metalfest XII, New England Metal and Hardcore Fest, as well as play their first European tour with Fleshless in 1999. Pessimist became recognized for their unique brand of Brutal and Technical Black/Death Metal, with Old-school Thrash influences, an emphasis on quality songwriting, powerful live shows and a dark, evil sound.
Re-release features two bonus tracks and new artwork.
Recommended for fans of Pestilence, Vader and Morbid Angel.
Season Of Mist, 1997/2021 (SOM 618). Made in France.
