About

Plague of Angels are an Anglo-French heavy-symphonic-metal band that merge a wide range of styles and influences. From dark ambient electronica through to Arabic music, and classic rock through to extreme metal, Plague of Angels present majestic arrangements, infectious choruses, and quirky textures/dynamics, that combine to take listeners on a captivating journey. Lyrically, Plague of Angels re-contextualise traditional tales and ancient-world stories, providing them with modern-day relevance, along the way considering the darker aspects of human existence, as well as themes of personal transformation.
