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."
