UMUR
"The Pestilence" is an EP release by Swedish death metal act Centinex. The EP was released through Agonia Records in April 2022. It´s the follow-up release to Centinex´s eleventh full-length studio album "Death In Pieces" from May 2020.
It´s a five-track EP release ("Afraid of the Light" is a bonus track only available on limited editions of the EP) and Centinex as always pummels the listener with some powerful Swedish death metal. I thought maybe the title of the EP signalled that Centinex had opted to cover a couple of Pestilence songs, but that´s not the case at all. Instead you get all new original material from Centinex. As always that means some pretty standard fare Scandinavian death metal, which is decent enough, but nothing out of the ordinary for the genre.
"The Pestilence" features a well sounding production job, which suits the material well, and upon conclusion this is another solid release from Centinex. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
