Today, Argentinian melodic death metal solo artist PLAGUESTORM unleashes his blistering sophomore full length record via Noble Demon. Founded by Sebastián Pastor in early 2014, on "Purifying Fire" PLAGUESTORM continues to spread his blend of sweeping melodies, heavy, dark and melancholic arrangements, while mixing the old and new Scandinavian sound of Death Metal, as if it were based on a Swedish manufacturing standard.
Following Sebastián Pastor’s critically acclaimed releases "Mother of Plagues" (2019 - ) and "Everything's Gone Wrong" (2015 - ), PLAGUESTORM's brand new album offers "lot's of fury and anger but also melancholy and sadness" as Sebastián Pastor states. "The songwriting process started in early 2020. I recorded, mixed and mastered it entirely in my home studio. Regarding the lyrics, I think that this time, I have written some personal things that many people might relate to in these pandemic times."
In support of his new studio album, PLAGUESTORM just shared a video clip for the furious track "Close To Nowhere".
"Purifying Fire“ is out NOW on Noble Demon and will please fans of acts alike Soilwork, At The Gates, In Flames and Dark Tranquillity. Get / stream the album from here:

LYRICS:
They are the outstretched arm
Claiming some dignity
Waiting to get up from the ashes of chaos
And the irreparable waste of life
They are exhausted souls
That sail in a sea of darkness that pulls them inward
In a vortex of greed and lies
They are so close, so close to nowhere
They are so close, but they can't reach the shore
They are so close, so close to nowhere
They are so close
But you, but you shouldn't even try
I bid you welcome
Welcome to our world
We call it subsistence
Time eats you up
It smells you
It chews you
And then spits you out
To swallow you whole again
They are like ghosts
That roam in the dark
Trying to be reborn
Beneath the remains of hypocrisy
They are like fucking puppets
Who play a game in vain
In which they try to cut the ties of misery
They are so close, they are so close to nowhere
They are so close, so close to nowhere
They are so close
But you, but you shouldn't even try
