OBSCURA/Ex-PESTILENCE Bassist Jeroen Paul Thesseling - "Bass Players In Death Metal Should Be More Audible In The Mix"
July 22, 2009, 15 years ago
OBSCURA/Ex-PESTILENCE bassist Jeroen Paul Thesseling comments at the website of the German bass manufacturer Warwick that most bass players should be more audible in death metal recordings. "In many of the death metal productions the bass guitar is simply absent or almost unaudible in the mix, which is a shame. Perhaps this is one of those aspects that will chance by the time in the evolution of the genre. We are lucky to have bassists like Steve DiGiorgio (SADUS) and Alex Webster (CANNIBAL CORPSE) who have given extremely important directions to death metal bass playing."

Thesseling joined the German progressive death metal band Obscura in 2007, with which he toured North America and recorded their second full-length album "Cosmogenesis", released via Relapse Records in February 2009. Obscura will embark on a European tour this August alongside ATHEIST. Jeroen also played on PESTILENCE's fourth album, Spheres (1993).
