Description

[Machine Translation] Symphonic deathcore led by Kristen, a bewitching female keyboardist! Twin guitars, interweaving melodies, and ultra brutal breakdowns! Originally called BLEAK DECEMBER, the band was formed in Upland, CA in 2002, renamed WINDS OF PLAGUE in April 2005, and released their debut full-length album "A COLD DAY IN HELL" on RECORSE RECORDS. In 2007, they signed with CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS and completed their second album "DECIMATE THE WEAK" in February of the following year. The album debuted at #9 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart. After a number of member changes and the addition of Kristen Randall, a female keyboard player from ex-ABIGAIL WILLIAMS, in 2008, the band began work on its third album, THE GREAT STONE WAR, the following year in April 2009. The album was mixed by Tue Madsen, known for his work with AUGUST BURNS RED, HEAVEN SHALL BURN, and THE HAUNTED, and was produced with Daniel Castleman, known for his work with DYING. The song begins with an epic soundtrack reminiscent of a Hollywood movie, followed by a spectacularly brutal sound roaring in. The melodic interplay of the twin guitars is beautiful against the ferocious screams. Kristen's bewitching keyboards, which have a somewhat Japanese taste, are the most majestic ever, and add a great accent to the album. One of the highlights of the album is the guest vocal performance by Mitch Luker, frontman of SUICIDE SILENCE, one of the leading deathcore bands of today, on "Classic Struggle".

Description in Japanese

THE GREAT STONE WAR / WINDS OF PLAGUE

妖艶女性キーボード、Kristen率いるシンフォニック・デスコア!!!ツイン・ギターの織りなすメロディーの絡み、超絶ブルータルなどん底ブレイクダウン!!!元々はBLEAK DECEMBERというバンド名で活動していた彼らは、02年にカリフォルニア州アップランドにて結成する。05年4月にWINDS OF PLAGUEと改名し、RECORSE RECORDSよりデビュー・フル・アルバム「A COLD DAY IN HELL」をリリース。07年にはCENTURY MEDIA RECORDSと契約し、翌年の2月に2ndアルバム「DECIMATE THE WEAK」を完成させる。この作品はビルボードのトップ・ヒートシーカーズ・チャートで初登場9位にランクイン。数々のメンバー・チェンジが起こり、08年にex-ABIGAIL WILLIAMSの女性キーボード・プレイヤー、Kristen Randallを加入すると、翌年の09年4月、3rdアルバムとなる本作「THE GREAT STONE WAR」の制作を開始する。AS I LAY DYINGを手がけたことで知られるDaniel Castlemanと共に行われ、AUGUST BURNS RED、HEAVEN SHALL BURN、THE HAUNTEDの作品でお馴染みのTue Madsenがミックスを担当。ハリウッド映画を思わせる壮大なSEで始まり、壮絶にブルータルなサウンドが轟く。獰猛なスクリームに反してツイン・ギターの織りなすメロディーの絡みは美しい。そしてどこか和テイストを感じさせるKristenの妖艶なキーボードは過去最高の荘厳さでアルバムに大きなアクセントを加えている。今を代表するデスコア・バンド、SUICIDE SILENCEのフロントマンであるMitch Lukerが"Classic Struggle" でゲスト・ヴォーカルで参加しているのもアルバムのハイライトのひとつだ。
