According to Blabbermouth.net, "Doctrine", the new album from Dutch death metallers Pestilence, will be released in North America on July 19 via Mascot Records. The eleven-track CD was recorded and mixed at Woodshed Studio in southern Germany with engineer Victor Bullok (Triptykon, Dark Fortress).
Regarding the direction of the band's new music, guitarist/vocalist Patrick Mameli previously stated, "The new material will sound, again, way different from the previous albums, and is going to top all previous Pestilence material, stated by insiders already."
"
The new songs have the rawness of [1989's] 'Consuming Impulse', the theatrical [quality] of 1991's 'Testimony Of The Ancients' and the brutallity of [2009's comeback effort] ''. But this time we will try to top all our material by using the RG2228-GK [Ibanez guitar]."
