WINDS OF PLAGUE are currently decimating the weak across North America as part of the Thrash And Burn festival that also features DARKEST HOUR, PARKWAY DRIVE, MISERY SIGNALS, STICK TO YOUR GUNS, ARSIS, ABIGAIL WILLIALMS, ARSONISTS GET ALL THE GIRLS and AFTER THE BURIAL. Visit www.myspace.com/thrashandburntour or www.myspace.com/windsofplague to view their complete tour routing.

The group just acrimoniously parted ways with Jeff Tenny (drums) and will remain on the Trash And Burn tour as drummers from other bands on the tour lend them a helping hand.

Johnny (vocals) checks in with his thoughts on the situation: “Winds Of Plague as individuals have been hit very hard recently by a very selfish act committed by our long-time drummer, Jeff Tenney. We are disgusted and very disappointed in his actions. However, we as a band are not going to let this slow us down. A few drummers from the tour have stepped up and are helping us finish the remainder of the Thrash And Burn run. We are currently on the search for a new drummer.”

Winds Of Plague recently stirred up some controversy as their new video for the track 'The Impaler' was rejected by MTV for it’s supposed “graphic language and questionable content.” Check out the clip below...

Winds Of Plague is currently one of the hottest bands in the genre, which is further cemented by the fact that they were just hand-picked by the legendary Glenn Danzig for his 20th anniversary tour this fall.

The massive North American trek, dubbed the Blackest of The Black, kicks off in October and also features DIMMU BORGIR, MOONSPELL and SKELETONWITCH.
