NEWS: Pestilent Scars announce debut album “Meadows Of Misfortune”!

Formed in Oulu, Finland during the winter of 2022/2023, Melodic Death Metal riff slingers Pestilent Scars have inked a deal with Inverse Records for their debut album “Meadows Of Misfortune” to be released on 17th January 2025. The five piece already have already played a wealth of shows and released two singles last year in “Deceitful Phoenix” and “All On My Own” which will appear on the record with a 3rd from 10 to make the grade accompanying the news in “In Search of Reason”. 

Guitarist and songwriter Elias Vierimaa: “Mostly my writing comes straight from the heart. When I write music it has to come naturally. Melodies are very important to me and that’s why we have lot of melodic riffs in our songs. It tells you a story, it’s not basic death metal. I feel like I can show much more about myself with melodies. It’s something that I do. I don’t think a lot about which bands have inspired me, but i have to say that gothenburg’s melodic death metal scene from 90’s has inspired me a lot. But our music still has that Finnish melancholy. Both Finnish and Swedish melodic death metal is very important to me.”
