Plague Of Angels, led by the talented vocalist and keyboardistAnabelle Iratni, alongside guitaristsRichard Shaw,Mark Mynett, andOz Wright, drummerJeff Singer, and bassistSimon Robertshaw, made waves in the music industry earlier this year with their debut single 'What Lies Beneath'. Their groundbreaking performance in a church, accompanied by the church organist on a traditional pipe organ, garnered national attention and acclaim from esteemed publications such asThe GuardianandDaily Telegraph. Notably, they made history as the first metal band to grace the stage ofBBC's The One Show, solidifying their place as trailblazers in the genre.

Follow up single, 'Beyond Salvation', delves deeper into the multifaceted talents of the band, unveiling a rich tapestry of musical range and dynamics.Anabelle's mesmerising operatic vocals take centre stage, intertwining seamlessly with the band's prowess in crafting distinctive and unpredictable metal compositions that stand as masterpieces in their own right.

Anabellecomments on the single:"This tasty ear-maggot is based on a twisted, kooky, dark lullaby that I had lurking in the shadows. It's quirky, epic, and full of character. I often refer to this track as the birth ofPlague of Angels,the “a-ha!” mad scientist moment where everything clicked."

GuitaristMark Mynett continues: "It's based around a quirky lullabyAnabellehad written on the lyre and the harp (as you do!), that became the foundation for the intro and verses, this was the very first song that we wrote together, and I love how it turned out. The resulting textures, riffs, grooves and ‘character’ vocals of the verse really set the stage for the fireworks to go off during the chorus….and I love those killer hooks!"

Plague of Angelscomprises a collective of exceptionally skilled musicians, united by their passion for crafting exhilarating metal compositions that push the boundaries of creativity. In the words ofAnabelle,"This project is a collective of monster talent and, above all, friends. It's all about experimenting and having fun."

The organic metal concept - which drove the success of their debut single - stemmed from an earlier collaboration and live event called ‘organic doom’ that, alongside Leeds Cathedral pipe organistDavid Pipe, guitarist Mark Mynett spearheaded. Celebrating the rich heritage of the pipe organ by making it relevant to today's modern music audiences, the experimental gig was a huge successful, with the event covered by local, national, and international media. This gave rise to the unique and groundbreaking Plague of Angels and ‘Organic Metal’ project.

Given the huge response to their debut single, the band aren't losing sight of their original goal. This is just the beginning.

Annabelle concludes:"The response on a national level is mind-boggling – I’m still reeling! Looking back at my younger self, who struggled with mental health, identity issues, and a fair share of adversity, it’s hard to believe that I could tell her this is where she’d end up. I like to think this is just the beginning."
