The Promise Of Plague are a band from Louisville, Kentucky that plays a mixture of black metal, industrial and punk and this is a review of their self released 2019 album "The Tomb of Lost Lovers"which will be released in March.
A very dark and heavy sound starts off the album along with some programmed beats while t he vocals are mostly grim black metal screams. When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can also be heard as well as some keyboards also being used at times.
Clean vocals can also be heard in certain sections of the recording while all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them. A decent amount of melody can also be heard in the guitar riffing along with the music also mixing in a great amount of industrial elements and clean playing can also be heard at times.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as the music also mixing in a decent amount of punk elements. As the album progresses they also bring in a cover of Venom's "Warhead"which also introduces melodic guitar leads onto the recording and a later tracks brings in female vocals and spoken word samples. The production sounds very professional for being a self released recording while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion The Promise Of Plague are a very great sounding mixture of black metal, industrial and punk and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Quiet" "Warhead" and "Tomb Of Lost Lovers". 8 out of 10.
