Before they drop their cutting-edge debut album, Reptilian Warlords, this Friday, uprising death metal unit PLAGUEMACE gear up for the release of their final pre-release single “Carnivore”! The track attacks immediately, as low growls are joined by contrasting screams and bombastic melodies. Watch the official music video for “Carnivore” and get sucked into its brutal soundscapes!

Hailing from Denmark, PLAGUEMACE is one of the most promising bands of the new generation of old school death metal, and there is no doubt that fans of bands such as Grave, High on Fire, Entombed and Obituary will enjoy their new offering. After winning over live audiences in Scandinavia, as well as in the UK while supporting thrash metal powerhouse Nervosa,  PLAGUEMACE are ready to conquer the scene with their first album.

PLAGUEMACE’s thrashy death’n’roll is spiced up with brutal breakdowns and infectious grooves as witnessed on the album opener “Cannibalicious”, which is followed by ruthlessly groovy “Impenetrable Leather”.  The brutal soundscapes on “Rhythmic Demise” impress, before the track fades out into “Warcries from the Crypts”, where trumpet and trombone add to the threatening atmosphere. Catchy title track “Reptilian Warlords” kicks off with metallic soundscapes, with groovy rhythms carrying competent death metal vocals and skillful guitarwork. Closing track “Carnivore” attacks immediately, as low growls are joined by contrasting screams, and bombastic melodies lead the album to its end.

PLAGUEMACE on Reptilian Warlords:
“Reptilian Warlords is the first in a series of concept albums taking place in our own fictional universe. The story has been torn apart chronologically, and will be put together throughout this, and the following releases. So stay tuned to find out what happens next. The themes of Reptilian Warlords include ANGER, VENGEANCE, DESIRE, WAR and ENRAGING BLOODTHIRST.”

Up-and-coming Danish death metal outfit PLAGUEMACE are gearing up to unleash their debut album, Reptilian Warlords, on November 17, 2023 via Napalm Records! Today, the quintet presents the first taste of what to expect with their ruthlessly groovy first single, “Impenetrable Leather”. The neck-bending old school death metal band was formed in 2020 in the heart of Denmark, and released their six-track EP, Primal Priest, in November 2020.

Throughout their first year of performing live, PLAGUEMACE already racked up 25 concerts, including several headlining gigs and opening slots for bands like Baest, Katla and Crocell, earning themselves a reputation as an explosive live band. In spring 2023, PLAGUEMACE toured the UK in support of their labelmates Nervosa, and conquered stages all over Europe as support for death metal legends Left To Die. Check out the energetic music video for “Impenetrable Leather” below, and stay tuned for more news on PLAGUEMACE’s first full-length!

PLAGUEMACE on “Impenetrable Leather”:
“’Impenetrable Leather’ is a short ferocious onslaught, depicting the ruthless brutality of the barbarian war clan. Armed with nothing but skin made of impenetrable leather, these brutes show absolutely no mercy as they mow down the enemy.”

PLAGUEMACE’s thrashy death’n’roll is spiced up with brutal breakdowns and infectious grooves as witnessed on the album opener “Cannibalicious”. The brutal soundscapes on “Rhythmic Demise” impress, before the track fades out into “Warcries from the Crypts”, where trumpet and trombone add to the threatening atmosphere. Catchy title track “Reptilian Warlords” kicks off with metallic soundscapes, with groovy rhythms carrying competent death metal vocals and skillful guitarwork. Closing track “Carnivore” attacks immediately, as low growls are joined by contrasting screams, and bombastic melodies lead the album to its end.
 
There is no doubt that fans of bands such as Grave, High on Fire, Entombed and Obituary will enjoy the first full-length of one of the most promising bands of the new generation of old school death metal.

Danish death metal act PLAGUEMACE have inked a worldwide record deal with premier Austrian rock and metal label Napalm Records! The neck-bending old school death metal band was formed in 2019 in the heart of Denmark by vocalist Andreas Truelsen and guitarist Simon Truelsen. Soon, the two brothers were joined by Anton Holm Smidstrup on second guitar and vocals, Ruben Brandt on bass and Matias Zacho on drums. The quintet released their six-track EP, Primal Priest, in November 2020.
 
PLAGUEMACE’s thrashy death’n’roll is spiced up with bombastic melodies, brutal breakdowns and infectious grooves, reminiscent of bands such as Grave, High on Fire, Entombed and Obituary. The outfit’s ferocious energy and dirty riffs are unleashed on stage in a vicious vortex of guitar shreds, headbanging and pure lunacy. As the pandemic loosened its tight grip on the world, the band began performing live, and within that first year, they played 25 concerts in total. The performances included support slots for bands such as Baest, Katla and Crocell, and appearances at festivals such as Metal Magic and Tornvang Open Air.
 
Stay tuned for news on PLAGUEMACE’s debut album!
