Plagued is a five-piece death metal band from the East of England, formed in 2024. The band's debut EP, Rotting Dominions, presents old-school death metal with a modern sound, bringing together influences from each of the members, including old-school death metal, Swedish death metal, hardcore, metalcore, and thrash metal.
The material is built around riff-driven songwriting, a modern Swedish guitar sound, and powerful, aggressive vocals, combining hardcore grooves with crushing fast death metal riffs.
Rotting Dominions serves as Plagued's first recorded statement, establishing the band's foundations and direction.
