Minneapolis (USA)-based ethereal gothic/doom metal band Plague Of Stars signed a record deal with WormHoleDeath Records and will release a new, third album, Extinction on 31 January 2025. This marks their heaviest offering yet, featuring the powerful debut of their new vocalist, Liz Ziegler. Drawing inspiration from the fractured world around us, the band fuses doom, black, and gothic metal with ethereal clean vocals and intense harshness.
With its diverse soundscapes, Extinction offers a captivating experience that every metal fan will appreciate. Plague Of Stars has captivated audiences and critics alike with its unparalleled blend of darkness, energy, and raw musical prowess.
Led by the haunting vocals of Liz Ziegler, this band of musical veterans, including Will Maravelas, Aaron Lanik, Frodo Caulfield, and Neal Pruett, defies categorization with their apocalyptic, female-fronted, genre-defying sound.
Since its inception in 2012, Plague Of Stars has been on a relentless quest to push the boundaries of metal. From shattering riffs to ethereal melodies, they traverse uncharted territories, blending elements of doom, black, and gothic metal into a potent brew that leaves listeners spellbound.
