Pestilence - Resurrection Macabre (2009)

I didn't expect to really like this album, given that the only previous Pestilence album I like is Spheres, and I'd heard they weren't going for that kind of sound again. Well, I wasn't surprised. This seems to be more like their early albums, with simple straightforward riffing and song structures. About the only bright spot for me are Mameli's guitar solos, which may not be that appropriate at times, but at least provide some interesting melodic ideas. I would have preferred some of the more abstract/creepy/experimental sections a la Spheres incorporated into the riffs, but oh well...
