A black metal group that formed in late 1997 in Sweden, Pest was known for
their desire to produce a ‘purer' version of black metal, one that
lacked the symphonic and progressive tendencies of some of the genre's
second and third generation acts. Their speedy brand of the dark stuff
was first made public on a series of demos that first started hitting
the scene in 1998. The duo - members Equimanthorn (bass and guitars,
and not to be confused with the similarly named former member of Dark
Funeral) and Necro (guitars, vocals, and drums) (Pest would, on
occasion, utilize session drummers on some works) - released two
further demos in 1999, In Eternity Skyless and Black Thorns before
‘officially' releasing the Blasphemy Is My Throne EP in 2002. Finally, a
full length from the duo, now making quite a buzz in the ‘true' black
metal underground, entitled Desecration, was released in 2003 and Dauðafærð EP in 2004. In 2005, Pest returned with the sophomore album, In
Total Contempt. Season of Mist took on the band, and in 2008 Pest
returned to the world of metal with their third album, Rest In Morbid
Darkness.
