The Dutch technical Death Metal legend Pestilence is back with their second album after the reunion. Doctrine, the sixth Pestilence effort, and one which follows rather closely in the footsteps of its direct predecessor. The band does actually reach back into their jazzy guitar synthesis here. Not to the extent of Spheres, but there's no doubt that Doctrine intended as more than a wink and a nod to prior Pestilence experimentation. 11 tracks of forward thinking Death Metal with lyrics that discuss humanity's suffering under the weight of political and religious issues. (2011)
