The remaster was done by Satanic Audio (Behemoth, Azarath).“Spheres” (1993) broke the mold at a time the metal scene wasn’t ready to appreciate its uniqueness or recognize its future impact. Underestimated at first, the bold conjunction of jazz fusion and progressive/technical death metal, trailblazed by PESTILENCE, had eventually been lauded as a move ahead of its time, and had influenced a lot of bands, including Gorguts, Necrophaigst and Obscura.The album was recorded at studio Arnold Mühren in northern Netherlands and originally released in CD format in May 1993 on Roadrunner Records. Its line-up consisted of Patrick Mameli on vocals & guitars, Jeroen Paul Thesseling (who replaced Tony Choy and later joined Obscura) on bass, Patrick Uterwijk (Pestilence: 1989 – 2013) on guitars and Marco Fodis (Pestilence: 1986 – 1994) on drums. Dan Seagrave’s (Morbid Angel, Entombed, Suffocation) first cover artwork was rejected by the band and replaced with its second iteration, featuring a different depiction of the sphere object. Mameli wished for it to resemble the sphere found in “Testimony of the Ancients” (1991) artwork.
