Plague Years announce new album ‘Circle Of Darkness’

PLAGUE YEARS have announced a new album!

Titled Circle of Darkness, the upcoming album from the US crossover death thrashers is their sophomore effort and is scheduled to be released in May this year, via eOne.

The devilish and down-tuned death worship within PLAGUE YEARS serves as a demonic calling card for the foursome; a brutal counterbalance to their otherwise like-minded thrash revivalists. On Circle Of Darkness, the band reunite with engineer Arthur Rizk, whose work with POWER TRIP, TOMB MOLD, CANDY, and CAVALERA CONSPIRACY has propelled him to the front of the horde amidst the resurgence of crossover thrash.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song from the upcoming album; titled Play The Victim. The new song was first premiered via Decibel.

Speaking about the new song, guitarist Eric Lauder says, “with this record, I wanted to carve our own lane in metal. It’s darker, heavier, faster, and everyone crushed it from the performance to the production. This song is about that narcissistic person in everyone’s life. Someone who seems incredibly loyal but is just a shell of a person filled with darkness. You show them the same loyalty, but they stab you in the back. Then when it comes time to confront them they manipulate the situation and Play The Victim.”
