Against the Plagues-Purified Through Devastation

 

On December 18, the Dutch label Non Serviam Records will release the new album by multinational, Chicago-based extreme metal band Against the Plagues. Entitled Purified Through Devastation, it’s emblazoned with the flame-throwing cover art of Pär Oloffson and it includes a lot of flame-throwing music, too — as you will discover, through our premiere of a track called “Man’s Modern World“.

At just over 47 minutes in length, the album is a full-bodied offering of blackened death metal and features a revised line-up for this band, which includes current or former members of Damnation, Forest Of Impaled, Luciferion, and Throne of Sacrilege, among others.

 

Against the Plagues

 

With a ghastly howl, a blast of bullet-spitting drums, and a swarm of barbed-wire riffs, “Man’s Modern World” wastes no time in launching its barbarous assault. As Shaun Albro continues expelling vocal ferocity through a range of roars and blood-letting shrieks, dismal guitar melodies surface again and again in this war-like song, giving it staying power as well as an immediate surge of adrenaline. And anchoring the whole affair is a drum-and-bass rhythm section that turns in an electrifying (and bone-jarring) performance.

If you’re looking for something that’s enraged, predatory, and turbocharged with sonic power, “Man’s Modern World” should fix you up quite nicely. Check it out below.
