Biography

The eagerly waited 3rd album "H8" of Finnish hard n' heavy team Godsplague will be released in Finland on September. Raise that fist and shake that ass!
Godsplague's music is a mix of heavy, down tuned guitar riffs, overdriven bass and powerful drum grooves. If Black Label Society, C.O.C. and Down get your juices going, heads banging & fists shaking, Godsplague is The Band For Ya.
The band guys themselves describe their music to be "Friday night boozin' heavy metal", with a wide grin on their faces. Fasten your seatbelts and experience the world with Godsplague - the dark place with the sparks of black humour and heavy, yet groovy beat that would make even Lucifer himself rock.
