AGAINST THE PLAGUES Parts Ways With Guitarist

March 22, 2010

AGAINST THE PLAGUES, the multinational extreme-metal act featuring members of LOST HORIZON, LUCIFERION, MALEVOLENT CREATION and VEX, has parted ways with guitarist Adrian Adamus (FOREST OF IMPALED, CORPHAGY). According to the band, Adrian left AGAINST THE PLAGUES "in order to focus on his personal/family life."

Going forward, second-guitar duties in AGAINST THE PLAGUES will be handled by Marco Martell (MALEVOLENT CREATION, DIVINE EMPIRE, KULT OF AZAZEL),who previously played bass for the group. The band says, "Marco is an accomplished guitarist with the versatility, speed, and skill that the 'AGAINST THE PLAGUES style' demands."

AGAINST THE PLAGUES is putting the finishing touches on a video for the song "Great Are The Eyed". The clip was filmed in February in Miami with directors Eduardo and Gregg Alvarez from Elephas Productions. The song comes off AGAINST THE PLAGUES' new album, "Decoding the Mainframe", which will be released in Europe in April 2010 via Vic Records.

"Decoding The Mainframe" contains re-recorded versions of all eight songs from AGAINST THE PLAGUES' self-released CD, "Architecture of Oppression". The tracks were remastered and mixed by Dan Swanö (EDGE OF SANITY, AEON, DISSECTION, KATATONIA, MARDUK).

Commented AGAINST THE PLAGUES co-founder Varyen Chylinsky: "We decided to improve the sound with slightly modified arrangements of the songs, along with mixing and mastering… For now, I would say — this is our first 'official ' product that sounds as a high-quality world class album should sound! Of course we've added several new things to make this release a bit more special. We've improved album cover and the whole CD layout; plus we have added more new pictures of the band along with a few other new bonuses…"

Originally released in 2007, "Architecture of Oppression" was recorded at Studio One with Chris Djuricic (NOVEMBERS DOOM, NACHTMYSTIUM, GORGASM, FOREST OF IMPALED) and was mastered by Daniel Fossum at Sounds Elevator Studio in Gothenburg, Sweden.

AGAINST THE PLAGUES features in its ranks Wojtek Lisicki (LOST HORIZON, LUCIFERION) on guitar, Varyen Chylinski (DAMNATION, FOREST OF IMPALED) on drums, Orlando "Logan" Perez (VEX) on vocals and Marco Martell (MALEVOLENT CREATION, DIVINE EMPIRE, KULT OF AZAZEL) on guitar.
