Plague is the second studio album by The Watchmen, released in 1992 by Prescient Thought.[1][2]
Reception
Westword called the music of Plague "slick and well mastered" and said "keyboards, samples, distorted vocals and titles such as "Fear" prepare you for Skinny Puppy-style aggression; instead, much of the material is caught in the netherworld between modern dance music and accessible industrial beats."[3]
