Consisting of members from Luciferion, Forest Of Impaled and Malevolent Creation this Swedish-Polish-American band is hardly lacking in experience and more than a sum of its part. Led by guitar wizard Wojtek Lisicki (Luciferion, ex-Lost Horizon) Against the Plagues is, musically, a continuation of the direction started on Luciferion's second semi-conceptual album "The Apostate".

From the ever fertile soil of France comes this black metal act, which was originally formed under the name Empires de Glace. After a stereotypical synthesizer intro with samples of howling winds and thunderstorms and moody spoken monk vocals give way to a rather traditional Scandinavian interpretation of the genre.

Death metal is such a limitless genre. You can do whatever you'd like. It can be over the top technical or slow. Brutal or insane and it's all so good.

Los Osos, California-based death metal specialist label Unique Leader Records have announced the release date for the second album of Dutch brutal death metallers BRUTUS:
At long last... six years after the devastating debut "Slachtbeest" comes the highly anticipated new album by Dutch steamroller BRUTUS. Incubating for over 4 years, "Murwgebeukt (Total Loss)" is the ferocious 2nd album, now taking intensity to an even higher level. 16 tracks, 50 minutes of highly aggressive blast-beat-ridden bottom end brutality. The lyrical concept deals with a man facing life as a debt to death, and is conceived by the band's late drummer 'Ploegbaas', who took his own life shortly after drum recordings. The morbid, almost hymnic riffing and hateful outcries are hammered down your throat by the ever-pummeling percussion and will take you through the depths of a burdened man and leave you deprived of joy. Lyrical translations are supplied in a 16 page booklet with sick art by Toshihiro Egawa.
"Murwgebeukt (Total Loss)" is scheduled for release May 25th through Unique Leader Records.
