AGAINST THE PLAGUES (featuring members of LOST HORIZON/LUCIFERION/FOREST OF IMPALED/MALEVOLENT CREATION/DAMNATION) has signed distribution deal in Europe with Plastic Head Ltd. Architecture Of Oppression will be released exclusively in UK and Ireland on January 19th.

"Finally after several months of paper works, negotiations and other preparations distribution deal in Europe with Plastic Head is confirmed. I am very happy about that. Plastic Head is very solid and professional company, I guess one of the biggest distro/merchandise label in Europe," commented co-founder Varyen Chylinski. "Definitely, it s big opportunity for Against The Plagues to promote our music and hopefully those European metal maniacs who didn't have a chance to buy Architecture... in their local music stores will find our album soon. I would like to thank Code 7 agency from London for all work they did for us and helped make it happened. I am in Florida right now, visiting my friends from DIVINE EMPIRE. We just started jamming with Jason Blachowicz and Marco Martell last week and I can tell you. We have three powerful songs ready! This shit sounded very extreme and dynamic! I don't want to talk more about it because its only jam session but we'll see what happened in the near future. It's a new year, new opportunities, new visions and new adventures.

AGAINST THE PLAGUES, the mighty alliance featuring Swedish/Polish/American members of LOST HORIZON, LUCIFERION, MALEVOLENT CREATION, FOREST OF IMPALED has announced a distribution deal with Century Media for their self released album, Architecture Of Oppression, in The United States.

Commented drummer Varyen Chylinski: "I just returned to Chicago from California, a great state with beautiful beaches and vast vineyards. During my time there, I had the opportunity to meet with my friends from AT THE GATES at their show in Hollywood. Their performance at the Henry Fonda Theater was tight and impressive. I also visited the Century Media office in LA and met with Eric Williams - Direct Sales Manager of the label. After a very nice and professional conversation we agreed that ATP needs professional distribution provided by Century Media.

Currently our album Architecture Of Oppression is available for purchase through CM Distro and will be shortly available to all metal record stores within the scope of their distribution network. I am very pleased that we signed this deal and hope that this will help catapult our name to a wider audience of metal fans who have not had a chance to hear our masterpiece. I would like to thank all of our loyal fans who bought the album on our site and encouraged us to make Architecture… available to record stores across the world. We are currently planning a US tour for this coming winter and can't wait to perform for all our fans. Stay tuned for more news, this is just the beginning…"

AGAINST THE PLAGUES lead vocalist Orlando Logan Perez has joined Texas metal band, VEX, winners of the Xtreme Texas Metal Band Of The Year in 2006. On April 1st this announcement was made on the vocalists' personal blog; however, being that it was April 1st, there was some debate to whether the singer was provoking a hoax.

Logan has recently confirmed that he will be the new vocalist for Vex in the following statement: “I am honored to be working with such great musicians and great long-time friends that share similar visions, philosophies, and burdens. Although my work with Vex will be significantly different than that of Against The Plagues, I believe it will present a similar spirit of aggression, harmony, and intellectualism.”

Vex’s first full length album entitled Thanatopsis is expected to be released this summer before they return to complete their second album expected to be released early next year. In 2007, Vex completed a US tour supporting AVENGER OF BLOOD and GODLESS RISING.

Also, we have decided to post another song online from the album entitled 'Order Of Decay'."

Check out 'Order Of Decay' at this location. The lyrics for the track can be found here.

The band continue, "For those of you who have not experienced listening to the entire album, we have have decided to treat you with this free song which takes a slightly different musical direction than the other two songs (which have been posted forever, I know). So we felt it was time to throw in something new, and we hope you will enjoy
it as much as the other two songs. We think that 'Order Of Decay' will be a pleasant surprise to the die-hard, old school, extreme heavy metal heads with a thirst for shrieking vocals and fucking killer solos! So make sure to let us know what you think. Of course, this is just one of many epic masterpieces that you can find on our debut album Architecture Of Oppression, which is still available to order online.

We will be updating our merchandise page on the site soon - which means, new ATP shirts, and more! We also wanted to let everyone know that our original, 2007 Tour shirts are still available in extremely limited quantities. If you have felt the desire to purchase one, the best time is now, because they will no longer be available.... EVER!

In addition, we are offering EXCLUSIVE discount package deals for all who purchase our album. For additional information/details on purchasing our merchandise - please visit our official website www.againsttheplagues.com or www.myspace.com/againsttheplagues.

Keep your eyes and ears open because we are about to post several new live videos/pictures from our previous tour on YouTube/official-website respectively. And last but not least, we will be shooting a promotional video clip for one of our songs from Architecture Of Oppression album. We will keep you posted on which one very soon."

"The brand new Against The Plagues album is finished and scheduled for release on September 1st, 2007. Architecture Of Opression will be available for purchase on our official website and MySpace page only in the US. We'll keep you informed about the European release as soon as we finish negotiations regarding license and distrubution deals.

Against The Plagues is described in a press release as a "power act of blasting musical and idological expression, presented in different extreme metal styles."

Palpable agressiveness, but also lots of melodies, different metal styles, many atmospheric and rhythmic changes makes the materical a collage of emotions and a breath of fresh air among the stench of modern colorless and monotonous releases."

Architecture Of Opression was recorded and engineered by Chris Djuricic in Studio One, Racine WI, mixed and produced by Wojtek Lisicki in Metal King Domain Sonic Lab, Gothenburg- Sweden and mastered by Daniel Fossum in Sound Elevator, Gothenburg-Sweden."
