Ov Plagues is a black metal band that hails from the wretched city of Chicago. Seriously, it has the highest murder rate in America, despite having the strictest gun control laws. However, I'm not here to talk about why gun control is a bad idea and will always fail, I'm here to talk about metal.
These guys can best be described as a mix between Gorgoroth and Deicide. The drums play simple, fast, straightforward blast beats with plenty of double bass and some fills for good measure. The guitars really show the mixture of genres. Sometimes the tremolo riffs sound as cold as a polar bear's nutsack. Other times they're as fiery as Satan's asshole. I mean all of that in a good way of course. The riffs are furious and quite infectious. The croaks and rasps are appropriately vicious and angry. They could easily compete with any Norwegian.
I love these guys. I love their mixture of black metal and death metal riffs and I love the vocal performance. I can't wait to hear a full-length from these guys.
