Legendary Baltimore death netallers, Pessimist, have returned to slaughter the faithful in 2015 with a special October 31st reissue of this classic album from Obscure Musick.

Slaughtering The Faithful is Pessimist's fastest, most lethal and most blasphemous CD. Produced by Erik Rutan (Morbid Angel, Hate Eternal) and digitally remastered by Juan "Punchy" Gonzalez (live sound for Nile, Morbid Angel), the album is a timeless classic. Featuring art by Jon Zig, the CD is filled with sadistic, blackened death metal, in the vein of Krisun, Hate Eternal and Immolation.

The CD reissue also includes bonus tracks "Summoned To Suffer" 2000 Demo and a live in-studio performance on WNYU's (89.1 FM) nationally renowned HellHole show. The digital-only release includes three additional bonus tracks and live rehearsal tapes from the "Slaughtering" demos, featuring recently-deceased drummer, John Grden (RIP).

Stream the album's original nine tracks, remastered for maximum audio terror, below.
