Pestilence were originally formed in the Netherlands in the mid 1986 as a thrash metal band. Later they became a death metal band and incorporated more jazz and fusion influences in their music.

Nick Sagias replaced Martin Van Drunen. Nick only lasted about 2 months and never recorded with them.

After releasing a number of albums, Pestilence broke up in 1994 when band members decided to work on their own bands.

Patrick Mameli reformed the band in 2008.
