Praise the Plague is a metal band hailing from Germany, known for their harrowing brand of blackened doom metal that encapsulates the ferocity of black metal and the heavy, lumbering tones of doom. The band was formed in Berlin in 2017, quickly establishing a dark and heavy sound that is characterized by its oppressive atmosphere, abyssal riffs, and a sense of existential dread that permeates their music. Their lyrical content deals with themes of nihilism, the human condition, and the darker aspects of existence, fitting seamlessly with their sonic assault.
Praise the Plague's discography showcases their relentless pursuit of aural devastation, with their earlier work like "Antagonist" (2018) and "Antagonist II" (2019) laying a robust foundation for their evolving soundscape. These releases, followed by their intense live recording "Live At Fall Of Man (Live Version)," have solidified their standing in the doom metal subgenre. Their most recent offerings, the singles "Blackening Swarm II," "Beyond," and "The Obsidian Gate," as well as the dense and sinister full-length album "Devourer" (2021), see the band venturing further into the depths, refining their sound, and garnering a growing fanbase within the extreme metal community. Praise the Plague continues to captivate audiences with their enveloping darkness and relentless intensity, steadily becoming a torchbearer for the modern blackened doom metal movement.
