about

On their third record, Pessimist put forth another brutal lesson in raw, unrefined blackened death metal. ‘Slaughtering the Faithful’ is gritty, blasphemous, and a revered gem in the early American death metal scene.
Initially released in 2002, this cult album is finally available on vinyl for the first time!

Artwork by Jon Zig.

Side A: Requiem/Slaughtering the Faithful/Baptized in Blasphemy/Infernal Abyss/Resurrected Torment
