Century Media Records reports:
"WINDS OF PLAGUE are currently one of the hottest bands in the genre as they continue to garner diehard legions of fans through unrelenting touring backed by devastating live performances. The group are now a week into the much anticipated Metal For The Masses tour playing alongside some of the Century Media family’s hottest new acts including AS BLOOD RUNS BLACK, STICK TO YOUR GUNS, THE GHOST INSIDE (on select dates) and VEIL OF MAYA. WITH DEAD HANDS RISING (on select dates) and BELAY MY LAST (on select dates) round out the bill on this amazing tour.This devastating package is one of the most brutal, fan-friendly and affordably-priced tours this spring and is sure to be the perfect alternative to the upcoming oversaturation of festival events. For additional information on any of the bands or to view the tour’s itinerary feel free to visit here.
The group just shot a new video for 'The Impaler' with up-and-coming director Jake Avignone. See below to view the making of the video and let the hilarity ensue...
Johnny (vocals) further describes his excitement: “The Metal For The Masses tour has redefined touring for us. We have never had such a good time being out with all the family bands and wrecking towns across the U.S. and Canada every night. With a new generation of bands coming up in today’s metal and hardcore world I feel that every band on this tour has a promising future and this is just the beginning.
“We wanted to create a video that was entertaining and a bit outside the box as far as metal videos go. We were torn between an over the top epic metal video and a more fun rap club style video, so we decided to combine the two worlds since we have been known to cross over genres anyways. We had a lot of our good friends come down to the location is Los Angeles and just had a blast putting this video together. Despite being really sick, it was one of the most fun days of my life. Director Jake Avignone was amazing to work with and I was really impressed with how efficient and smooth the whole operation went. I can’t wait to see the outcome of this video. I hope it confuses the hell out of everyone and makes traditional metal patrons heads explode. For now enjoy the making of the video clip we put together and we hope to see you all soon.”Decimate The Weak retains the band’s hardcore roots while the atmospheric sounds of Scandinavian black metal and classic American metal reign supreme. This stunning slab of brutality annihilates the listener with its razor sharp riffs and sheer intensity backed with a monsoon of angst and inner demons that is just waiting to be expelled on stage.
In 2008, Winds Of Plague pave their own path of destruction unlike anyone has yet witnessed."
