Internal communication: the following text is not for novices and the like; I am addressing a more informed audience without catering to newcomers. Listening to this album without knowing the band's past is a serious act of negligence.
That said, I am about to draft my thoughts/review on this 2009 sonic work. Absurd and incomprehensible is the nature of man that never surrenders, not even in the face of a clear victory, thus risking, in the attempt to do more, to throw away all the good and commendable things done in the past. I consider artists (of all kinds: musicians, painters, sculptors, etc.....) to be beings more intelligent and sensitive than usual, who should not make the mistakes of the past; however, unfortunately, in most cases, this is not so. A clear example is represented by the Dutch band Pestilence, who, in the era of reunions, presumptuously decide, and without faith or help from the Lord, to resurrect in the most macabre way possible, as indicated by the title of the work ("opera").
Some time ago, I read somewhere a statement by Mr. Mameli intent on emphasizing his desire to play with people of his own level, as very likely, according to him, had not happened in the past. Highlighted (allow me the play on words) this, we arrive at "Resurrection Macabre," the new and last effort of Mameli's now sterile mind: year 2009, perfect production, enticing and well-balanced growl, genre: Death metal.
All this and nothing more can be found in the album, characterized by tired and recycled ideas, which, in my modest opinion, could barely be considered as such, as they do little more than trace or even "clone" the riffing of the albums preceding Spheres; moreover, Choy's bass plays only a supporting role, and the jazz/fusion fantasies have been lost in the meanders of time.
It's depressing to receive this from a band that made experimentation its creed, especially after being consecrated over the years, alongside Atheist and Cynic, as cult bands; so, why ruin everything? how can one resurrect with a product like this, in light of what was done in the past?; the only possible answers I've already found, but, being of a philosophical nature, I won't elaborate here. I truly hope for the non-return of Atheist, to bed the progressives, happy listening deathmetallers.

12 Chemo Therapy (05:00)
Practising usury cancer Bifurcation of the tumour Unstoppable swelling Cellular tissue consumer Desperately searching for a solution Against the deadly life corrosion Countless medical examinations Lead you to self-immolation Chemo-therapy Chemo-therapy Undergo of radiation Diatribe of your hair Monitors, X-rays, injections Consequences you have to bear Skin is turning black Forced to take liquid food Vexations are you share Even loss of manhood The only possible solution Against the deadly life corrosion Were these medical examinations That make you die of radiation !
13 Out of the Body (04:32)
In the darkness
They crawl on places
Where you can`t see or hear they come
Marching silently
When it`s dawn they will be gone
A swelling on my body
Makes me suffer, live in anxiety
No time to waste
Just open the abcess, will you please help me
The ignorance is dominating
Remedies you try
I can not live this life any longer
What is it and why?
While you`re asleep
They`ll enter your skin
The search for the new place they will dwell
They give their children
A place to be born
You won`t notice except for the smell
Mysteriousness, researches can`t explain
The sorrow of this eternal pain
It`s burning stronger day by day
Cure me, thre must be a way
Desperation, confused mind
Never heard of the disease of this kind
So tell me what can I do
To leave this HELL I`m going through
Human blood
The perfect place
Birth of descendants
Creatures living
In my veins the horror
Frightening, sickening
The pain that I am bearing
Begging, please get them
Out of my body

This bomb from Nepal will burn you alive and you will do nothing but suffer like beasts.
'Hate Suicide' starts strong, immediately goes into pole position and you struggle to keep up because before you notice it’s behind you.
