Biography from Last.fm
Winds Of Plague is a Symphonic Deathcore band from LA, USA. The band was originally named "Bleak December", but changed their name in April 2005, getting their name from the lyrics in Unearth's song "Endless", from their 2002 EP of the same name.
The band contains the heavy breakdowns and stance towards music of the new wave of deathcore bands, but their unique use of more epic, melodic keyboard driven passages put them in the front of the pack. Their music has been compared with Bleeding Through. Read more on Last.fm

I gave Winds of Plague an absolute pasting in my review of their last album, 2011’s Against The World, with my criticisms revolving (mainly) around its lazy writing, tedious breakdowns, Johnny Plague’s testosterone-fuelled lyrics, and sub-par production quality. With that in mind, it’s with extreme trepidation that I plugged in their new album Resistance.

I’d like to give Jonathan “Johnny Plague” Cooke a big cuddle and thank him for overseeing another let-off by his deathcore gangsta mob Winds of Plague. Their latest ‘release’ is a rare treasure – Against The World will leave you horrified, yet somehow gurning with glee, like some toffee-chewing toddler riding the big-boy shit at Thorpe Park.
This tour was called THE MOSH LIVES!. We were confused as to whether that it meant that a mosh was alive, in which case nobody sent us a press release about it dying or whether it was the name of a new reality TV show following a few moshers around. We would probably watch that because we too are utter morons.
Because Winds of Plague‘s (relatively) new drummer, Art Cruz, certainly seems to be impressing at least one young lady with his sleight-of-hand.
