A Plague are a band from Brazil that plays an anarchist form of black metal and this is a review of their 2023 ep "Long Dark Veins" which was rleeased as a joint effort between Vita Detastabilis and Fiadh Productions.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the ep along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody and all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them.
The songs also add in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while tribal style chants and percussion's are also added on one song. Clean playing can also be heard briefly along with some of the riffing also showing some influences of crust punk and the guitar solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style as well as one track also bringing in a brief use of dark soundscapes.
A Plague plays a style of anarchist that is very raw and aggressive sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while t he lyrics cover Anti Fascism and Suffering themes.
In my opinion A Plague are a very great sounding anarchist black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Long Dark Veins" and "Entombed". 8 out of 10.
