Imagine Death himself plopping his ass down at your campfire with his pal and band mate, Desperation, and they break out in song….what do you think that would sound like? I am gonna say Those Poor Bastards is pretty fucking close…. ~ Autopsy IV

Turning down the country part of their Doom country sound, while concentrating the remaining doom, I would be inclined to say that if there ever was to be a serial killer convention, The Plague would be the soundtrack. Those Poor Bastards have ascended from their depths of despair with eleven new tracks of suffering. Fittingly enough, it landed on my doorstep in the midst of a surprise thunderstorm. I put it on and opened the front door, letting in the angry winds in while TPB painted a picture of mankind’s impending doom. While this is probably their best effort to date, TPB still aren’t for delicate ears. However, if you’re in the mood for the sounds of heavy reverb, organs, filth and disease, then The Plague is Essential Listening.

Those Poor Bastards will also be playing this years Deep Blues Festival…as if you needed another reason to be at that.
