About
Plague of Angels (POA) is a UK–France-based Dark Alternative Metal band that merges a wide range of styles and influences. From heavy metal and melodic death metal to dark ambient electronica, Arabic music, and classic rock, POA deliver majestic arrangements and infectious choruses. Already attracting attention for their “Organic Metal project”, a bold collaboration with pipe organs, they have been featured by major media including BBC, ITV, ARD TV (Germany), The Guardian, The Observer, and The Telegraph. Following their sold-out York Minster performance, POA earned a seven-page feature in Metal Hammer magazine (June 2025). Signed to Blood Blast Records, Plague of Angels stand poised on the brink of mainstream recognition.
They have just released their new single, Black Requiem, featuring their new vocalist Emilie Nox and new bassist Caroline Campbell.
