Plague Widow - This Black Earth

Not exactly recent news, but my friends in Plague Widow not only released an EP back in September, they've also signed with Willowtip Records. The band definitely deserves the recognition, as guitarist and graphic artist Hal Rotter (Rotting Graphics) has been involved with a number of other underground bands in the California death metal/grind scene, must notably Slaughterbox, and as of late they've been gaining a significant following. Plague Widow plays some pretty irresistible blackened deathgrind, so if you have a pulse and like extreme music, you'll probably enjoy this.

You can expect their debut full-length sometime next year.

Plague Widow / Oblivionized - Split 7" Teasers

Plague Widow have released a short teaser video featuring some new songs off their upcoming split with UK grind act, Oblivionized. No official release date has been slated, but both bands are clearly well in the midst of writing and recording, with Plague Widow again returning to Sacramento's own Mayhemeness Recording.

Plague Widow - EP

At long last, Plague Widow has finally dropped their much anticipated, debut eponymous EP. Recorded by Bob Swanson of Mayhemeness Studios (Journal, Fate/Shadow of the Colossus, Rings of Saturn, Slaughterbox), this EP should satisfy one's craving for new brutal death-grind. I found "Mabus Incarnate" particularly satisfying.

Plague Widow - Operating the Segmental Apparatus

Plague Widow has just released another new track, and the excitement for the release of their EP is building. I wonder if the track name could possibly be a slight nod to The Apparatus message board (whose namesake is Florida legends Bodies in the Gears of the Apparatus)...

Plague Widow - Assimilated Subconcious

The interwebs are abuzz about Plague Widow, whom without even a recording generated considerable attention via studio teasers. Their debut track has finally been revealed, and it certainly does not disappoint. Featuring Hal Rotter of Slaughterbox and recorded at the almighty Mayhemeness Studios, their debut EP is slated for an early 2012 release.
