"...there’s something here to latch onto. If you’re looking for a sign, keep your eyes fixed to the North Star State. The usual suspects are still our guideposts. War//Plague forever. " - No Echo

​

Hailing from the frigid Minneapolis wastelands, WAR//PLAGUE are among the most proactive bands in the local, national and international hardcore punk, crust and thrash communities. While pushing the envelope with their ever-evolving sound, these Minneapolis stalwarts know their roots, and the underbelly of the hardcore punk and crust movement has fueled them since day one.

​

Forming in early 2008 and with 13 releases to date, War//Plague continue their dedication as they bring unrelenting socio/political rage and ferocity to their music. With numerous releases and a dedicated work ethic, there is no end in sight for these veteran Minneapolis thrashers!

​

​WAR//PLAGUE recently crossed their 18th anniversary threshold in 2026 with a catalog that includes split releases with some legendary bands such as WARWOUND, AXEGRINDER and more. WAR//PLAGUE is in for the long haul.
