AGAINST THE PLAGUES: New Video Footage From The Studio

January 21, 2011

Chicago-based multinational extreme metal act AGAINST THE PLAGUES has released footage (see below) from its recent studio sessions for the follow-up to the band's debut release, "Decoding The Mainframe". Recording is currently taking place at Belle City Sound in Racine, Wisconsin with producer Chris Djuricic (NOVEMBERS DOOM, JUNGLE ROT, NACHTMYSTIUM). The as-yet-untitled album is tentatively set for a late spring/early summer release.

Commented the band, "We are very excited about this new release as we are taking every measure to make sure this effort surpasses our last in every way possible. The songs are definitely more intense and complex, but at the same time more memorable, catchy, and dynamic.

"As of now, all guitars, drums, bass, and solos are done; next up are keyboards and vocals.

"We have really concentrated on this material for the past year to make sure that it is the absolute best possible. Fans of the band will not be disappointed!"

"Great Are The Eyed", the first official video from AGAINST THE PLAGUES, can be viewed below. The clip was filmed in February 2010 in Miami with directors Eduardo and Gregg Alvarez from Elephas Productions. The song comes off AGAINST THE PLAGUES' debut album, "Decoding The Mainframe", which was released in Europe on March 31, 2010 via Vic Records.

AGAINST THE PLAGUES last year parted ways with guitarist Adrian Adamus (FOREST OF IMPALED, CORPHAGY). According to the band, Adrian left AGAINST THE PLAGUES "in order to focus on his personal/family life." Scond-guitar duties in AGAINST THE PLAGUES are now being handled by Marco Martell (MALEVOLENT CREATION, DIVINE EMPIRE, KULT OF AZAZEL),who previously played bass for the group.

"Decoding The Mainframe" contains re-recorded versions of all eight songs from AGAINST THE PLAGUES' self-released CD, "Architecture of Oppression". The tracks were remastered and mixed by Dan Swanö (EDGE OF SANITY, AEON, DISSECTION, KATATONIA, MARDUK).

Originally released in 2007, "Architecture of Oppression" was recorded at Studio One with Chris Djuricic (NOVEMBERS DOOM, NACHTMYSTIUM, GORGASM, FOREST OF IMPALED) and was mastered by Daniel Fossum at Sounds Elevator Studio in Gothenburg, Sweden.

AGAINST THE PLAGUES features in its ranks Wojtek Lisicki (LOST HORIZON, LUCIFERION) on guitar, Varyen Chylinski (DAMNATION, FOREST OF IMPALED) on drums, Orlando "Logan" Perez (VEX) on vocals and Marco Martell (MALEVOLENT CREATION, DIVINE EMPIRE, KULT OF AZAZEL) on guitar.
