Legendary Baltimore Death Metallers PESSIMIST have returned to Slaughter the Faithful in 2015 with a special October 31 reissue of this classic album from Obscure Musick. Slaughtering the Faithful is PESSIMIST‘s fastest, most lethal and most blasphemous CD. Produced by Erik Rutan (MORBID ANGEL, HATE ETERNAL) and digitally re-mastered by Juan “Punchy” Gonzalez (Live sound for NILE, MORBID ANGEL), the album is a timeless classic. Featuring art by Jon Zig, the CD is filled with sadistic, blackened Death Metal, in the vein of KRISIUN, HATE ETERNAL, and IMMOLATION.
