Key facts
After Pestilence's break up, Mameli resurfaced in the Dutch groove metal supergroup C-187 with Cynic drummer Sean Reinert and bassist Tony Choy (formerly in Pestilence), resulting in 2007's Collision, which was met with poor reviews. After disbanding C-187, Mameli created 2 more bands: Moordzucht and Neuromorph. In 2018, Mameli toured again with Pestilence with no original members, joined by Slovenian bassist Tilen Hudrap, who played in the bands U.D.O, Testament, Doro, Vicious Rumors, and Paradox. Mameli found in his own words “the best drummer ever in Pestilence”, Septimiu Harsan, known for his versatility and technical abilities. The touring lineup was rounded up by Calin Paraschiv (from Necrovile).
