Iconic Dutch death metal pioneers PESTILENCE have officially announced a headlining tour across Asia this May. Taking a break from working on their highly anticipated tenth studio album, Portals , the band will bring their legendary sound to select venues across Turkey, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, China, Thailand, Taiwan, and Japan .

A Message from PESTILENCE

The band expressed their excitement about the upcoming tour, stating:

"We're truly blessed to be able to announce and share the following information with all you metalheads out there in... Asia. Pestilence will be infecting your eardrums. Make sure to get your ticket and go to this epic event. Come and say hi or take a selfie with us, showing us some Death Metal love. Pestilence can’t wait to see you all!"

A Legacy of Death Metal Excellence

Formed in the Netherlands in 1986 , PESTILENCE has long been regarded as one of the most influential forces in progressive death metal. Alongside genre-defining acts such as Death, Cynic, and Atheist , they have continuously pushed the boundaries of extreme metal.

Led by guitarist, vocalist, and mastermind Patrick Mameli , the band has weathered two breakups and reunions, always returning with fresh material that reinforces their status as pioneers. Their latest album, Exitivm (2021), was a powerful statement that charted on Billboard 200 and received critical acclaim. Additionally, PESTILENCE has been remastering and reissuing their classic catalog, including Mallevs Maleficarvm, Consvming Impvlse, Testimony Of The Ancients, and Spheres . They also released a re-recorded best-of album , Levels Of Perception , keeping their legacy alive for both old-school fans and new listeners.

With Portals nearing completion, this tour serves as a perfect intermission before the band's next major chapter unfolds.
