Pest are a band from Germany that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a very raw and misanthropic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Eternal Nightmares" which will be released in October by Heidens Hart.
Clean playing starts off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched yet angry sounding black metal screams and the music is also very heavily rooted in the old school era of the genre.
Some of the guitar riffing also adds in a small amount of melody at times while some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Some of the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the guitar solos and leads also being done in a very dark yet melodic style when they are finally utilized and a later track also adds in a brief use of acoustic guitars and spoken words, the album also closes with an instrumental.
On this recording Pest goes for a very fast, aggressive, raw and misanthropic style of black metal. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Nihilism, Misanthropy, Death and Plague themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from pest and if you are a fan of raw and misanthropic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Eternal Nightmare" "Winds Of Death" and "The Gates". 8 out of 10.
