The Promise of Plague are a band from Louisville, Kentucky that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays an avant garde mixture of black, doom, death and thrash metal and this is a review of their self released 2023 demo "Let Those Unjust Creatures Be Burnt".
Bass guitars and keyboards start off the demo before adding in some heavier riffing and clear vocals. Black metal screams are also a very huge part of the recording while the music also has its avant garde moments along with all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Melodies are also added into the guitar riffing while elements of doom metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the songs. Touches of thrash metal are also added into the mid tempo sections of the tracks along with death metal growls also being utilized at times and keyboards are also added in certain sections of the recording.
Female vocals can also be heard on all of the tracks along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of blast beats as well as the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style, throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the demo closes with a cover of Manowar's "Blood of my Enemies". The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from The Promise of Plague and if you are a fan of avant garde black, doom, death and thrash metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Let All Your Dreams Be Drained" and "Death Shrouds And Vomit Stains". 8 out of 10.
