Kentucky's The Promise Of Plague have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a 90's inspired mixture of black, doom and death metal and this is a review of their self released album "The Earth Above, A Grave Beneath" which will be released in 2026.
High pitched black metal screams start off the album while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of blast beats. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them while the slower sections of the recording also add in elements of doom metal and clean playing can also be heard at times.
Spoken words are also added on a couple of tracks while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the 90's era along with some death metal growls also being utilized at times as well as the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts
The recording also has its atmospheric moments along with the clear vocals also add in touches of gothic metal, melodies can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing and one track also adds in a brief use of synths as well as one song also adding in some acoustic guitars, the album also closes with a Quiet Riot cover. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover darkness and sorrow themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from The Promise Of Plague and if you are a fan of 90's inspired black, doom and death metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Vomit Running Through My Veins" "The Earth Above, A Grave Beneath" and "Of Sorrow". 8 out of 10.
