Old school thrash metal. After "Death From Above", the last album of the German Thrash Metalers by Pessimist was already 7 years ago, it will be time for a new sign of life of the quintet in 2020. With "Holdout" there is finally a new longplayer available, which will let it crash on 9 songs with a playing time of 55 minutes. After the last challenge was mastered with the last line-up change on the drums, the guys locked themselves in the Iguana Studio (Necrophagist, Bitterness, Virocracy, Profanity, among others) from the end of 2019 on to have the present 9 tracks of Christian Brandes cast in steel. Their now third longplayer impresses again with uncompromising Thrash Metal with a lot of Old School broadside, which is due to the mercilessly razor-sharp production is not only contemporary but also timeless.
