We don’t often go to the Netherlands when coming up with show topics (although we should more often), but we thought it was high time that Pestilence got a little attention. Coming out of the mid-80s, they brought with them a thrash sensibility, but soon incorporated brutal/technical death metal elements, culminating in their Testimony of the Ancients album. This episode we’re joined by frequent guest Chris Dick, as we navigate through their Consuming Impulse and Testimony of the Ancients records.

Before the retro-Thrash revival of the 2000’s, there were a handful of death metal bands channeling the genre’s energy and aesthetics. Witchery brought elements from Teutonic thrash, NWOBHM and Mercyful Fate, while keeping the barbarity of death metal. Featuring members of Satanic Slaughter, Seance, The Haunted, Opeth and Mercyful Fate, Witchery is a virtual who’s who of metal royalty.

What more can be said about Slayer? Well, that’s kinda what we thought too. This episode has been a longtime coming and we had a certain amount of hesitation due to the fact that so much has already been documented about the band, but we ended up having quite a bit to say about this early era. Along with Celtic Frost and Venom, Slayer are one of the most important bands to help shape the extreme metal world.

After last week’s dose of black metal, we figured it was time to represent some true “white metal”. Nearly 11 years into their career, Trouble jumped leaps and bounds with producer Rick Rubin on their self titled 1990 album. Similar to Kyuss, Trouble was a band that didn’t fit into any scene and really was ahead of it’s time. Alternative rock was rising, thrash was waning and the extreme metal scene was on the verge of some mainstream representation. Trouble were an island among these other scenes and until years later, this album wasn’t really appreciated like it could have been. Now long out of print, Trouble’s Trouble is ripe for reissue.

Black metal seems to be of of the most conservative of genres, but also one of the most innovative. Craft falls into the later. They approach their songwriting through the lens of lo fi black metal (ala Darkthrone/Burzum) but manage to retain a high production value that doesn’t lessen the impact of the music with spit and polish. Born from the land of Bathory, but owes more to their Norwegian brethren, Craft make a compelling case for destroying all mankind and matter.

Not often can you say that a band sounds like nobody else. Voivod are one of the rare cases where it’s true. Formed in 1982 in Canada, Voivod have run the gamut of extreme metal styles, but have alway retained a very unique dissonance and mythology that are distinctly their own. Voivod scholar and friend of the show, Jeff Wagner join us this episode to discuss the first chapter of this truly crucial band.
