Chicago-based multinational extreme act AGAINST THE PLAGUES has parted ways with guitarist Wojtek Lisicki (LOST HORIZON, LUCIFERION) and has recruited bassist Marcin "Novy" Nowak (BEHEMOTH, VADER, ROAD'S END). The band is currently recording its sophomore album as a four-piece consisting of the following musicians:

* Varyen Chylinski (FOREST OF IMPALED, DAMNATION) - Drums
* Marco Martell (MALEVOLENT CREATION, DIVINE EMPIRE) - Guitar
* Marcin "Novy" Nowak (BEHEMOTH/VADER, ROAD'S END) - Bass
* Logan Perez (VEX) - Vocals

Commented Chylinski: "I am proud to announce that one of the best bass players in death metal scene, Novy, who previously worked with BEHEMOTH and VADER, is officially a member of AGAINST THE PLAGUES. He is a great and very experienced musician who used to play in several world-class bands in the past and I am looking forward to working with him on our upcoming second album. We are very excited and full of energy like never before and I cannot wait to expose our new material to all our loyal followers!"

Recording sessions for the follow-up to AGAINST THE PLAGUES' debut album, "Decoding The Mainframe", took at Belle City Sound in Racine, Wisconsin with producer Chris Djuricic (NOVEMBERS DOOM, JUNGLE ROT, NACHTMYSTIUM).

"Great Are The Eyed", the first official video from AGAINST THE PLAGUES, can be viewed below. The clip was filmed in February 2010 in Miami with directors Eduardo and Gregg Alvarez from Elephas Productions. The song comes off AGAINST THE PLAGUES' debut album, "Decoding The Mainframe", which was released in Europe on March 31, 2010 via Vic Records.

AGAINST THE PLAGUES last year 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." Guitar duties in AGAINST THE PLAGUES are now being handled by Marco Martell (MALEVOLENT CREATION, DIVINE EMPIRE, KULT OF AZAZEL),who previously played bass for the group.

"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 Swan (EDGE OF SANITY, AEON, DISSECTION, KATATONIA, MARDUK).

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.
