BACKPLAGUE YEARS: METALSUCKS DEBUTS PARADOX OF DEATH VIDEO FROM DETROIT CROSSOVER DEATH THRASHERSCIRCLE OF DARKNESS FULL-LENGTH OUT NOW AND STREAMING VIA ENTERTAINMENT ONE

September 18, 2020 -- Detroit-based crossover death thrashers PLAGUE YEARS are pleased to unleash the video accompaniment to Paradox Of Death. Now playing at MetalSucks, the latest bruiser comes off the band's raging Circle Of Darkness full-length out TODAY via Entertainment One ( eOne ).

Notes guitarist Eric Lauder of the track, Paradox Of Death' is a mid-tempo stomper. This is one of my favorite tracks and highlights Mike [Jurysta]'s incredible drumming. The song is a story about killing a snitch after he's betrayed his people. Loyalty should never be broken. No mercy for rats. Never fold, never bend."

Mining the subterranean depths once unearthed on classic Sepultura albums like Beneath The Remains and Arise, with the vicious bite of Germanic slabs like In The Sign Of Evil by Sodom and the Hall of Fame 80s output of Slayer, the devilish and down-tuned death worship within PLAGUE YEARS serves as a demonic calling card for the foursome; a brutal counterbalance to their otherwise like-minded thrash revivalists. On Circle Of Darkness, the band's full-length debut, PLAGUE YEARS reunites with engineer Arthur Rizk, whose work with Power Trip, Tomb Mold, Candy, and Cavalera Conspiracy has propelled him to the front of the horde amidst the resurgence of crossover thrash.

PLAGUE YEARS pays homage to Detroit forebearers Negative Approach and modern contemporaries Hellmouth in equal measure, while infusing the proceedings with a brutal spin of their own design. In terms of lyrical aggression, songs like Play The Victim and Paradox Of Death blend traditional death metal blood-and-gore fantasy with the unrestrained bravado of Detroit's grittier contributions to rap, like LOM Rambo and Motown upstart Icewear Vezzo.

Like an icepick to the face, PLAGUE YEARS arrives with an electric surge of sudden pain. An unrelenting end of the world assault of the cataclysmic convergence of thrash and hardcore, with bits of blackened death and midtempo madness to spare, the band summons the primitive spirit of the singular moment when the heaviest of metal first smashed into a circle pit. PLAGUE YEARS reignites that flame with sharp fury.

PLAGUE YEARS turn chugging into an art form, making simple stomps feel like genuine riffs. Decibel Magazine

...a death thrash rager... Revolver

the quartet just freaking rages on songs such as the sledgehammer opener Play The Victim' or surgical strike of the title track. Somewhere, there is a skate park where someone has this cranked to 11 and is carving the bowl to bits to Incantation. Vancouver Sun

Nonstop, unrelenting crossover death metal that can knock you on your ass even at its slowest moments. The intermixing of tempos and pacing is precisely calibrated for pure pit-destroying, headbanging-ready potential. Invisible Oranges

When this band lays down a groove, the walls shake. New Noise Magazine

gnarly death metal and skull-bashing crossover in the same record Need something to kick your ass in gear today? Getcha some PLAGUE YEARS. Heavy Blog Is Heavy

Circle Of Darkness will still knock you on your ass A whirlwind of blackened and thrashing noise that has no shame with crossing over into many other metal territories. The end result, a thrill ride of savagery that will make the eyes water, the stomach acids boil, and the legs shake. Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life

A powerhouse of explosive, groove-fuelled riffs, Circle Of Darkness is simply ferocious. The talented Lauder's frantic soloing shrill and piercing in the best possible way, while Engelhardt's vocal style which might not appeal to everyone is an integral part of their sound as each track takes on a horrific, uncontrollable life of its own.
