Bio: With a unique style of eerie vaudevillian music, horror rockers Patron Saint
Of Plagues have grown into something reminiscent of a living, breathing
creature. Given life more than six years ago in Ottawa, Canada, by frontman
Opi Saint, his twisted illusion has taken on a mind of its own. Wielding... See Full Bio

“These guys are really fun. Clean vocals, screaming, even some death grunts, distortion, clean production, and ripped from the crypt lead guitar lines. ok. This EP grows on you. It kicks ass more and more as it goes on. And before you know it, its all over. I’m impressed with the work on this album. It is super clean, super polished, and super rehearsed. Each track seems to know what is above it and below it just well enough to know how to flip and flail within their own space. Nothing spills over, and nothing feels too long or forced. Its really cool, and a welcome change from a lot of horror-rock where lack of ability is played off as intentional. These guys are accomplished especially the voices! God, the vocals on this EP are impeccable. They rotate and mutate through guttural, soaring, clean, cracking, and brutal from one moment to the next. If these guys are a part of the future of horror-rock, then thank the dark lord Danzig himself.”

— Charlie J.J. Kruger, http://horror-punks.com

“Throwing themselves in to their songs with theatrical levels of enthusiasm, Patron Saint of Plagues are never less enjoyable as they turn the volume right up and express their post punk meets metal madness energy right into your ears. The drums thump, the guitars riff and the vocals sound like the product of a sixty a day smoking habit and, in its own over the top way, this collection of songs is actually fun. Deadman Walking”, for example, swaggers like it was four bars from the Rocky Horror Picture Show and “Invader Zim” could easily have been from some European melodic metal band if it were not for the fact that Patron Saint of Plagues sound like they are actually having fun.”

— Bluesbunny, Bluesbunny Music Reviews

“I’ve been following PSOP for just a short time but I like their sound and their style. Not only is it awesome that they are Canadian but this video drops just in time to help you enjoy the Halloween season! I’ve often said that music and the horror community are so intertwined it’s ridiculous. These guys Ooze the culture and are providing us with a pretty bad-ass soundtrack at the same time.”

— Ulysses Ronquillo, Splatter Pictures

“They’ve been inspired somewhat by other theatrical bands like Misfits, Alice Cooper, etc. However, I am not suggesting that they are copying anyone. They share a common interest and aesthetic, and a similar love for LOUD, FAST, rockabilly-inspired rock ‘n roll.”

— Kevin McGowan, Ottawa Citizen

“the «Horrorbilly» of PATRON SAINT OF PLAGUES, from Ottawa. These guys play music inspired by the Marilyn Manson of the first years and even before during the Spooky Kids' era and the Misfits. That was a good night of hardrock that makes me say that's a f***kin' good way of spending 3 bucks. (Translated)”

— Lex Ivian, Ondes Chocs

“The Canadian Horror Rock band – Patron Saint Of Plagues – is proud to announce that they recently received the MuchFact Viral Video Award. In association with Horror Morior, the band will be filming a music video for the namesake song from their most recent full-length record entitled “Things Arn’t What They Seem”. Frontman Opi Saint remarks, “We’ve already finished pre-production for the video. It’s going to be dark, a little twisted, and packed with the macabre sense of humor that PSOP is known for.” The MuchFact award is a groundbreaking production fund exclusively funded by Much Music, MuchMore, and Bell Media. Established in 1984, the goal was to increase the number of quality music videos produced in Canada.”

— Jay Walker & Destrukto, Revolution Music

“Okay, so they have a lot of the typical trappings of a horror punk band. They have the scary makeup and three chord riffing. But, what sets these guys apart is the fact that they aren’t afraid to use an acoustic guitar every now and again. This, in my humble opinion, makes them even more creepy in spots. And, for that I tip my polar bear hat in their direction.”

— P.D. Freeman, Do you know jack about Canada?

“They wear Tim Burton-ish skull-face makeup and play a style of punk rawk that's part psychobilly, part pop-punk and lots of fun. Give them a listen, and remember them when you're looking for music to soundtrack your Halloween party.”

— Roadrunner Webmaster, Sign Me To - Roadrunner Records

“Blending punk, industrial, metal, and melodic rock can be a Russian roulette and PSOP pulls it off - at the same time delivering a story that piques my interest far beyond anything other theatrical horror bands have delivered.”

— Lydia Peever, Sign Me To - Roadrunner Records

“Put simply, this is one of the BEST sounding bands in this genre I've ever heard.”

— OttawaHorror.com

“Patron Saint of Plagues is really really dark.”

— Sofia Francu, Umi Cafe
