MISANTROF ANTIRecords releases today second EP of PLAAG

PLAAG's second EP titled "IRONIC TWISTS AND TALES" is the natural follow up to the full length album "UGH!" released on Misantrof ANTIRecords in 2011.  This is hellish rock'n'roll just like you would except from this notorious band. This release also introduce the new member "NEGATIV" on vocals. Together this duo sounds better than ever.

Mastermind Somber Von Plaag, states, talking about this last effort: "IRONIC TWISTS AND TALES" Ep is a collection of 6 songs each dealing with misanthropy in their own way, both NEGATIV and me approached the subject from various angles ranging from sarcasm to a more serious view on the matter. 

"IRONIC TWISTS AND TALES" rocks so hard. Musically the EP feels like a natural evolution of their first release. Their sound is nasty, ironic, catchy and as raw as it could be, setting it as a superb example of how black metal can be taken down to its rock 'n' roll roots. 

The great news on "IRONIC TWISTS AND TALES" is the new additional vocalist and songwriter Negativ, taking the whole project to a higher and nastier level. Negativ strikes down from the cradle of Black Metal, Norway, and he gives this extra touch of frozen freelings typical of scandinavian black metallers. 

Behind the switches and amps there are two further geniuses: FREDRIK FALK, who also fought the obscure battles side by side with NATTEFROST on the ‘KREFT’ EP took care of the mixing, while the mastering was superbly crafted by DANIEL VRANGSINN of CARPATHIAN FOREST, VRANGSINN, etc.

Both provided PLAAG with the spot on sound to make this band sounding the way it should meant to be, the way the artist had in mind. These for dark damned souls are looking forward to work togheter in the the future, because what they can spawn is absolutely infernal.

PLAAG: from "Ugh" to "Ironic Twists And Tales" Whole Stream

It was in an unknown place in September 2009 that an entity, Somber, took over a painter in Belgium and one that would become the first song of "Ugh!", Plaag debut album, was born "Somber´s out". The beginning of Plaag goes back to when Misantrof ANTIRecords hosted Somber.

Somber is a sarcastic entity that uses music as a mean to show weaknesses of being human, the entity discloses the irony of human existence that breeds and proliferates in mass their race towards extinction by overloading our only home, planet Earth, by exploring too much its limited resources, by not being aware that the truth remains immobile even before their own eyes, the revenge of Mother Nature, the destruction. Somber faces the system that opposes against difference, against truth, against the cruel reality of the failure of the human species.Somber claims that in the beauty and perfection of the human being as dominant endowed with intelligence, there is only error and imperfection however this is what makes us human. Misanthropy, human failures, deaths, murders, mass consumption, religion, everything that is part of man and his culture, or simply what makes any part of an individual are themes explored in the songs of Plaag, always through sarcasm.

"Ugh!" Is a strong word that is well related to the messages that Plaag pass to their listeners, "Ugh" reveals an attitude of rebellion against  what we disagree, is a shout against oppression, stupidity, against what it is morally wrong, that goes against our ideals.

Plaag is now a project of two men who reveal hard work, intelligence and consciousness, allied to knowing how to make good music, Negativ, second singer and creative associate of Somber, creates an extra dimension in this sarcastic work.

I'm currently sitting at the front of the computer writing this review while listening to the blasting songs yet to come out of the "Ironic Twists And Tales" EP of Plaag and the headbanging is inevitable , their rock and roll riffs are heavy, fast and full of rhythm and the black atmosphere of the hoarse voices make Plaag a unique band with a lot ahead, with plenty to explore. I bow to these artists by their creative rock and roll style with black metal influences, it is different and it works flawlessly, its music full of energy to lovers without fear of joining new art forms, new sounds, and attitudes against the rotten society. When i think of denunciation, when I think of sarcasm, when I think of heavy underground concerts, I think certainly in one word only... Plaag.

We expect that the possible problems with the editorial release  of "Ironic Twists And Tales" be resolved  quickly, the music market needs of "Ironic Twists And Tales," people with good  taste need "Ironic Twists And Tales", the fans ask "Ironic Twists And Tales", the creator needs to see the birth of its ... "creation" named "Ironic Twists And Tales."

Ugh!

Retard time!

Time to feel all jolly

Time to reach within

All shall have their sorry

For each and every sin

So feast

Indulge

And dance

Effulge

Meet the genius of Christmas

Meet the master of irony

Meet the genius of Christmas

He's back from the dead to set you free

Wars will wage forever

Torture shall never cease

Fake your own little heaven 

It's still hell in which you live 

never mind 

The retard is back

Eternal light...

Yeah right

No more hell to see - Pain a travesty - Feed the industry

Decorate the tree - Feed hypocrisy - Ban reality 

Christmas mockery - Cheers to blasphemy - Dance with gluttony

MISANTROF ANTIRECORDS RELEASES PLAAG DEBUT ALBUM

The 30^th January sees the release on Norway’s MisantrofANTIRecords of the debut album from Belgian self-styled Hell Rock’n Rollers PLAAG.  The album, titled “UGH!” was recorded during 2009 and 2010, and was engineered and produced by PLAAG founder and front man Somber, whilst mastering was carried out by CARPATHIAN FOREST bassist Daniel Vrangsinn.  “UGH!”, which is described by Somber as a “a piece of pure, get down and have a good time Black ‘n Roll”,  is available both in CD format, and, in keeping with Misantrof’s policy, is also available for free download in high quality MP3 with complete artwork at http://plaag.misantrof.net/

Originally formed as a one man project in 2009 by Somber, who performs vocals and plays all the instruments on the album, PLAAG is inspired by early black metal, but with a touch of twisted humour.  A live line up featuring Razend on Drums, Triest & Mist on Guitars and Lava on Bass came together in 2010, and will make its live debut during 2011.

Although “UGH!” is the first full length release from the band, it is not the first time that PLAAG has appeared on Misantrof, having contributed tracks to the label’s tongue in cheek annual "Holy Fucking ANTIChristmas" albums in both 2009 and 2010. Misantrof ANTIRecords is home to bands like EPISODE 13, NIERTY, PROFANE PRAYER, as well as releasing archive material from some of the cult bands and musicians from the Norwegian Black Metal scene.  The label, headed by Daniel Vrangsinn, and which recently celebrated its fourth anniversary, is a 100% non-profit organisation, allowing all its artists to maintain complete control of their material and their earnings.  

Below you can see a promo video of the unmastered version of “Silently Beaten to Death” from PLAAG’s “UGH!”

Management: Accepting offers

Somewhere in September 2009 the entity Somber took over the mind of a nobody painter in Belgium and a first song was born called 'Somber's Out'.

By the end of 2009 Daniel Vrangsinn's organisation Misantrof ANTIRecords took notice of the art this sarcastic entity was producing and took it under it's wings which led to the first 'official' Plaag release being the happy tune 'Christmas Time (The birth of a retarded child)' which was released on the free download album 'Holy Fucking Anti christmas vol.2' on the Misantrof website. The cover artwork image was also made by Somber.*

 PLAAG - THE GENIUS OF CHRISTMAS by HeavyHardMetalmania 

Somber in the meantime kept on terrorizing his human host writing and recording such lovely sing alongs as 'My Satan', 'All That You See' and 'Steelteethed' amongst many others. All of them raunchy blackened rock 'n roll songs douced in sarcasm.

By October 2010 all the recordings were done to complete the first full length Plaag album entitled 'UGH!'. The album will be released as a free download album on the wonderful Misantrof ANTIRecords website and as a limited 200 copies handnumbered by Somber physical release with a nice 8 page booklet for those who want just a bit more.

Around the same time the demands to bring Plaag alive on stage were increasing to a level that Somber couldn't resist anymore and he finally concurred. A live Plaag was born.

In December 2010 'The Genius Of christmas' - the follow up of 'Christmas Time (The birth of a retarded child)' - was officialy released on 'Holy Fucking Anti christmas vol.3', again as a free download album on the Misantrof ANTIRecords website for which Somber provided the cover art too.*

Currently Plaag is creating new stuff to be thrown upon the feeble minds of the sheep and the live crew is working hard to be fully prepared to attack a stage very soon.

  PLAAG - Carl by HeavyHardMetalmania

PLAAG is a one-man project from Flanders, Belgium, consisting of one member: Somber. 

With love for the underground scene, a fascination with horror and a sarcastic evil view on life it was evident that this project was started under the term HELLROCK 'N ROLL... nasty, mean rock 'n roll with a Black Metal dressing on top. 

However(!) don't take this shit too seriously. Some songs are meant to provoke, others just for the love of blackhearted rock n' roll and some just to vent hatred towards ignorance, numbness and plain human stupidity. 

"Look it in the eye, think it through, laugh at it and do a song about it. That's my way of dealing with what keeps me up at night. Nature is the highest power and nature truly has a more important place in my heart than mankind." 

"SUPPORT THE UNDERGROUND Under ground is where the true artists roam!" 

Somber. 

Live musicians and also full members of PLAAG are:

Somber- Music, lyrics, artwork, vocals 

Triest - lead guitars

Nick - guitars

Razend - Drums

Lava - Bass
