WINDS OF PLAGUE Checks In From The "Metal For The Masses" Tour
WINDS OF PLAGUE is 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

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.
