PLAGUE YEARS stream new single video / 'Paradox of Death'
USA crossover death thrashers PLAGUE YEARS have unleashed their new single / video 'Paradox of Death', taken from the band's punishingCircle Of Darkness full-length, out now via Entertainment One ("eOne").
Premiered via Metal Sucks, watch 'Paradox of Death' here: https://youtu.be/bIKiSxMa88w
Guitarist Eric Lauder commented: "‘Paradox Of Death’ is a mid-tempo stomper. This is one of my favorite tracks and highlights Mike [Jurysta]’s incredible drumming. The song is a story about killing a snitch after he’s betrayed his people. Loyalty should never be broken. No mercy for rats. Never fold, never bend."
This follows the band's previous singles 'Incantation' and 'Play The Victim'.
Circle Of Darkness is out now on CD, digital, and vinyl formats. Purchase here: https://lnk.to/circleofdarkness
Like an ice pick to the face, PLAGUE YEARS arrive with an electric surge of sudden pain. An unrelenting end-of-the-world assault of the cataclysmic convergence of thrash and hardcore, with added blackened death and mid-tempo madness, the Detroit master blasters are here to crash the crossover party. Summoning the primitive spirit of the singular moment when the heaviest of metal first smashed into a circle pit, PLAGUE YEARS reignite the flame with sharp fury.
Mining the subterranean depths once unearthed on classic Sepultura albums like Beneath The Remains and Arise, with the vicious bite of Germanic slabs like In The Sign Of Evil by Sodom and the Hall of Fame '80s output of Slayer, the devilish and down-tuned death worship within PLAGUE YEARS serves as a demonic calling card for the foursome; a brutal counterbalance to their otherwise like-minded thrash revivalists. On Circle Of Darkness, the band's full-length debut, PLAGUE YEARS reunite with engineer Arthur Rizk, whose work with Power Trip, Tomb Mold, Candy, and Cavalera Conspiracy has propelled him to the front of the horde amidst the resurgence of crossover thrash.
PLAGUE YEARS pay homage to Detroit fore bearers Negative Approach and modern contemporaries Hellmouth in equal measure, while infusing the proceedings with a brutal spin of their own design. In terms of lyrical aggression, songs like 'Play The Victim' and 'Paradox Of Death' blend traditional death metal blood-and-gore fantasy with the unrestrained bravado of Detroit's grittier contributions to rap, like LOM Rambo and Motown upstart Icewear Vezzo.
