Pestifer

Pestifer is a sci-fi themed metal band that has been haunting Belgium since 2004. Composed of five humanoids, the group plays an original music mixing aggressivity, melodies and personality with emphasis on the songs structure, elaborate riffing and the general atmosphere. The project was fantasized by young hairy twins, fanatics of 90’s death metal scene. With a first EP in 2006, Pestifer aligns concerts on a local scale. In 2010, the band takes a new dimension releasing its first album, “Age of Disgrace”. Two European tours in support of Kataklysm and Krisiun follow and they sign with Ultimhate Records. Following a new 13-date European tour with Nile, Pestifer release a new album on Greatdane Records in 2014. “Reaching the Void” confirms the band’s musical direction. The following years, the band undergoes some line-up changes with the arrival of a new guitar player. In mid-2019, the band records a concept album, marking a new milestone for Pestifer. The album, result of several years of writing, is released on March 2020 on Xenokorp Records, a few days before the worldwide pandemy lockdown. During that period, Pestifer sign a publishing contract with “Les Editions Hurlantes” (Gojira, Immortal...). 2022 sees Pestifer sign a contract with Debemur Morti Productions (Archgoat, Ulcerate, Blut Aus Nord...), announce a new concept EP for April 2023: “Defeat of the Nemesis”. During spring 2023, the band plays at Hellfest Open Air in France, Clisson.
