Background information über 'Plague Within'

When Germany's avant-garde experimentalists Maladie unleashed "...Plague Within..." in 2012, they created something truly extraordinary that defies simple categorization.You get a solid slice of death, black, and prog grounded in orchestral themes in every song, and sometimes hints of thrash, too.This isn't just another metal album - it'sa richly operatic and theatrical experiencethat showcases the band's remarkable ability to blend seemingly incompatible elements into something cohesive and utterly captivating. The album featuresthree piano-focused tracks performed by vocalist Déhà (who also played keyboards and cello on the album), which aren't mere interludes but integral parts of the album's narrative structure.

What makes "...Plague Within..." so compelling is howMaladie cram so much into their music, it's a real headrush.The band demonstrates incredible restraint and sophistication in their songwriting, particularly evident in tracks like "1979" and the epic opener "...Animus Fatalis...".The delivery can be avante-garde at times, such as the almost Latin acoustic-guitar-picked ending to "Yersinia Pestis", with a fuzzy rainfall of drums and noise that both swallows and soothes as the finale. Quite a bit of fascinating acoustic work emerges at odd points, hitting more Middle Eastern and Latin melodies than the folk ones that are more common in black metal.It's an album whose anger always seems to be searching, not attempting to wish for death, but to understand death and learn from the pains of living.For fans of: Deathspell Omega, Blut Aus Nord, Ihsahn, Ulcerate, and Gorguts
