WRATHFUL PLAGUE
Metal / Ambient
Wrathful Plague was founded in December of 2005 as a raw old-school black metal project by Nostaun. In April of '06, Wavy Svendersuhn (LSP, Glaciial, Agothothodion) joined the band to provide drums/ambient keyboards and soon WP signed with E.E.E. Recordings. Wrathful Plague's discography includes their minimalistic debut album "The Frostbitten Path" (2006) and their most recent release "Bitter Forest Winds" (2007) which marks an immense step forward both musically and production wise. Wrathful Plague's black hymns work to create a cold, raw and medieval atmosphere, which recalls the older music of bands such as Ildjarn, Satyricon and Judas Iscariot with influences ranging from Tolkien's World to Germanic/Norse Paganism. Creating a trance inducing sound which is a nightmarishly unbearable plague for those unaccustomed to the world of raw primitive black metal.
Band members: Nostaun, blackened poetry, vile screams, guitars and bass. Wavy: drums and ambience/keyboards.

Tolkien, frostbitten nights under a full moon, Germanic/Norse Paganism, the bliss of misanthropy, frostbitten winter nights, all things dark, grim and mystical, nature and bands such as Darkthrone, Mayhem, Burzum, (old- Emperor), Judas Iscariot, Gorgoroth (with Pest), Leviathan, (old-Satyricon), Bathory, Ildjarn, (old- Ulver), Graveland, Isengard, Crebain, Dodheimsgard, Windir, Summoning and Xasthur.
