NEWS: Pestilent Scars seek the fair maiden…

Age is but a number and it has no baring on the ability of a band to deliver us to the nirvana of a decent record. That’s why we’re not bothered about the fact that Pestilent Scars are a five piece Melodic Death Metal band from Oulu whose line up are all between 18 and 19 years old. If anything that gives them a better opportunity to have 45 years in the game releasing albums and touring the globe. Anyway. they have a debut album “Meadows of Misfortune” inked in for a 17th January 2025 via Inverse Records release with “Golden Maiden” the next single…

Guitarist and songwriter, Elias Vierimaa comments: “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.”
