Seriously, Patrick? Again?!

How is the second cover way better than the first one.Please explain. The A.I. is everywhere
Are we so caught up in the past that that we do not embrace technology? Is recording with tape better than digital daws. Is taking a polaroid picture better than the newest tech phone? It's still about the music and lyrics and that's REAL!!!

Yeah what the fuck, why is there a "u"

Tells us he's "Still Alpha!!!" But then is insecure enough to then say "don't comment stupid shit".

Anyone remember his reaction to Quest for Metal's Pestilence album ranking video?

Trouble with Mameli is, he has a bipolar disorder and can explode about the simplest things.

It's actually pretty sad.

How do you know he has this?

I mean the art is still better than like 4 out of 5 of the post-reunion Pestilence album covers.

First off, let me be absolutely clear about the fact that both band and record company still love this cover. Also, the artist that created this art, did not let the computer generate this picture. He used multiple methods to come to this result. So it's not just A.I. in the real sense.
But the point I'm getting at, is this: I will not risk all the work we have put into this release, just to push the cover. We care a lot about our fans and we do not want this product not to be a success just because we want to push our ideas regarding A.I. We have always stood at the forefront of game changing events within the d.m. scene, whether it's music or in this case, a cover.
Maybe the timing is not right just now, so we chose the middle way. This should make people more open to this monster of a release we have planned for y'all.
Peace,
Patrick

Is that new cover any better? The level of perception seems to set at half arsed.

lmao good. i’m glad people are raising enough of a stink to get shit like this changed. now it’s deicide’s turn

just noticed all four members on the new pestilence cover are wearing a pestilence shirt. so it’s 10/10, flawless imo

I kind of liked Exitivm but this is probably gonna turn out a total shitshow. There are no songs from Malleus Maleficarum, and many of the tracks are from the albums after Patrick Mameli reformed the band – I mean they can hardly be called classics right

From Blabbermouth: Dutch death metal veterans PESTILENCE have re-recorded twelve emblematic anthems from across their 38-year career for a new album called "Levels Of Perception". Due on April 26 via Agonia Records, the effort will be preceded by a three-week long headlining tour of Europe, which kicks off on April 3. https://blabbermouth.net/news/pestilence-re-records-classic-songs-for-levels-of-perception-best-of-album Track listing: 01. Horror Detox (re-recording) 02. Mvlti Dimensional (re-recording) 03. Mobvs Propagationem (re-recording) 04. Sinister (re-recording) 05. Dehydrated (re-recording) 06.

Ovt of the Body (re-recording) I kind of liked Exitivm but this is probably gonna turn out a total shitshow. There are no songs from Malleus Maleficarum, and many of the tracks are from the albums after Patrick Mameli reformed the band – I mean they can hardly be called classics right? Also, this; The drums for "Levels Of Perception" were recorded by Michiel Van Der Plicht in 2021, during a live stream held in T Paard (The Hague, NL). "These recorded drum tracks were so awesome that we just had to use them, fine-tuning the guitars and bass," Mameli comments. These and other re-recordings were done with Reaper behind the console at Van Der Plicht's own studio On Duty in Mijdrecht, NL. The latter engineered, mixed and mastered the album. I mean WTF? Then again – how much worse can it be considering how bad some of the new albums are.

I wonder also who thought that cover is a good idea. Nevermind, probably Mameli himself.

not checking this out because 1) i don’t like neo-pestilence 2) i’m p generally against re-recordings. but man, what the fuck is that album cover? i don’t like it, but i understand there will possibly be a time when ai-generated art will be so advanced it can actually look good enough to be on an album cover. but this is so far from that it makes me question if that time will ever come. what even were they going for here? star trek fan film as done by a boardwalk caricaturist? regardless of substance, it doesn’t even look like it’s in high-enough resolution. imagine paying money for the lp and just getting this nightmare blob of pixels. is mameli okay?

The mere fact that TwistedTruth and the awful "there's some girl weeping" Land Of Tears are here instead of much better better Testimony songs like Secrecies of Horror, Lost Souls or Presence of the Dead makes me uninterested for this album. And where the fuck is 'Bacterial Surgery' ? Oh wait... the chosen songs are "emblematic anthems" haha. Whatever. In that case they should have chosen 'Commandments' as well then since that was the song on the StarsOnThrash 1988 compilation album by which many people internationally got introduced to Pestilence

Totally vnnecessary release. Rerecordings are never a good idea. I'm also not digging the stvpid gimmick in the way they retitled these songs, plvs the artwork is absolvtely terrible. What the actval fvck were they thinking...

Awesome, in my opinion I haven't REALLY heard a 90s death metal song until I've heard it with protools and tired middle aged performances. Just when it seemed like 2000s photoshop was the dark ages of album covers, AI happens.

1. That AI cover looks fucking horrible. Everyone should continue telling Mameli this, relentlessly. 2. Re-recordings like this almost never go well. See: that time In Flames re-recorded some songs from "Clayman" and butchered them in the process.

Dude's mental health is his responsibility, and if he's that mercurial and unstable, he probably isn't doing shit to manage it. Dude's a Goatse-sized asshole and I don't particularly care what the underlying pathology is.

How anyone can take Pestilence seriously these days is a mystery. The classic albums rule, but Mameli's online presence (and taste-level) is just pathetic

It explained a lot about his erratic and often hostile reactions. As someone else here said it does not justify it though. He can't go on attacking people the whole time

I love the older Pestilence records, I can't really say the same for their post-reunion albums. But the only cover of those ones, that I think is laughably bad, is for "Doctrine". This "new album" is still easily worse than the other 4. Although the cover for "Resurrection Macabre" seems pretty half-assed, so now that I just looked at it for comparison, I think I would only give that one a slight edge, over the new one.
