Další slavná kapela se vrací, tentokrát se jedná o PESTILENCE. Kapela začne připravovat novou desku v sestavě Patrick Mameli (kytara, vokály), Tony Choy (ATHEIST, CYNIC, basa) a Peter Wildoer (DARKANE, NON-HUMAN LEVEL, bicí). Nový materiál by měl být fůzí "Testimony of the Ancients" (1991) a "Spheres" (1993) - v moderním hávu, více techničtější a brutálnější. Novinka bude nahrána za pomoci producenta Jacoba Hansena (RAUNCHY, INVOCATOR) a vydána bude u Mascot Records.

Patrick Mameli k tomu podal následující komentář: "It's not a reunion, because I will not be playing with any of the old lineup guys, except Tony Choy [who played on 'Testimony'], of course so... I always stated there WILL NEVER BE a reunion, and there won't be, since I never look back at the past and I refuse now to play with people that are not on the same musical level as I am. "I sang on 'Testimony' and 'Spheres' (two albums later from 'Consuming Impulse' [1989]!!), so no need for [original PESTILENCE frontman] Martin [Van Drunen]. This because of the above statement I just made. Furthermore, Martin is doing other things. Good for him. So now you have two members that were in PESTILENCE before and one new guy. The reason why I bring PESTILENCE back to life is that people/fans keep asking me for this. The time is right now and Mascot is giving me the opportunity to do so. As you know, I have always been the driving force behind PESTILENCE, writing all the music and so forth, so that I can state: I will bring back PESTILENCE to life. More tech and way more brutal than ever before.
