Pessimist Blood For The Gods - Coloured Vinyl

In 1997 Pessimist released their debut CD 'Cult of the Initiated', which charted on CMJ Top 40 Loud Rock Charts, and received acclaim from around the world. The band continued to play shows in the Mid-Atlantic region, opening for Cryptopsy, Nile, Gorguts, Dying Fetus, Vader, Monstrosity, and festival appearances at Milwaukee Metalfest XII, New England Metal and Hardcore Fest – and the band's first European tour with Fleshless (Cz) in 1999. Pessimist released their second CD, 'Blood For the Gods', in 1999, which soared into the CMJ Top 30 and received the prestigious 'Pick of the Issue.. 10 Fucking Skulls' in SOD Magazine.

In 2001, the band traveled to Tampa, FL to record with producer Erik Rutan, for their third CD, 'Slaughtering the Faithful', which featured a re-vamped lineup and a faster, more extreme musical direction. Pessimist became recognized for their unique brand of brutal and technical Black/Death Metal, with old-school thrash influences, an emphasis on quality songwriting, powerful live shows and a dark, evil sound. The band is currently writing music for the next full-length album, 'Keys to the Underworld'. For fans of Pestilence, Vader and Morbid Angel.
