Wrathful Plague (working on new full length al

Bio:

Wrathful Plague was founded in December of 2005 as a raw old-school black metal project by Nostaun. In April of ’06, W.S. joined the band to provide drums/ambient keyboards and soon WP signed with E.E.E. Recordings. Wrathful Plague’s discography includes their minimalistic debut album "The Frostbitten Path" (2006), which contains vibes and textures simlular to the early 90’s Nordic vein, and their most recent release "Bitter Forest Winds" (2007) which marks an immense step forward both musically and production wise. In the fall of 2010 Wrathful Plague went back to the studio after a three year hiatus to begin working on their third full-length album entited "Thee Within The Shadows". On this third album, WP creates a nightmarishly diabolical soundtrack, heavily incorporating dark ambient, madigral and orchestral/choral elements...while still sticking to their roots of raw primitive grimness. "Thee Within The Shadows" will also feature drums courtesy of "Shemyaz" of the Mighty Polish death/thrash metal horde "Cryptic". This album is set to be released in the spring of 2011. Wrathful Plague’s black hymns work to create a cold, raw and medieval atmosphere, which recalls the older music of bands such as Ildjarn, Satyricon and Darkthrone with influences ranging from Tolkien’s World & Germanic/Norse Paganism to the frostbitten and formidable power of "nature". Creating a trance inducing sound which is a nightmarishly unbearable plague for those unaccustomed to the world of raw primitive black metal. ..
