Vern (War//Plague-bass)

SPB: What type of bass do you play (and how did you choose it)?

Vern: I am currently playing a Gibson RD bass. I also have an LTD Eclipse bass with EMG active pick-ups but was looking for something classic with passive pick-ups. I stumbled upon the RD at a local guitar shop in town and fell in love with how easy it was to play and how well balanced it was. It has an extra-long neck so the sustain on it is insane. 

I play an Ampeg SVT 2 head and two Minnesota-made David Eden 4x10 XLTs. I use one distortion all the time and switch around between a few different ones. My goal for my sound is to add girth to the power chords and bottom end to the melodies of the guitars and/or sometimes harmonize with certain guitar parts. For my picking I always try to stay in rhythm with whatever beat Chad is playing.

WAR//PLAGUE

Temperaments of War EP
Profane Existence (2014)

Over the course of their last few records these Minneapolis crust punk stalwarts have really honed their metal chops. I’ll do my best to avoid any “who put their metal in my punk” type of argument and just say, as someone who prefers my metalpunx leaning more to the punk side, I find Temperaments of War a little less intriguing … Read more

Primal
Profane Existence (2013)

WAR//PLAGUE always come a little different each time out. Primal is their fifth release (and the seventh single in the Profane Existence Single Series) and one that shows the Minneapolis quartet stripping away the evolved crust and blackened characteristics of their previous material in favor of a sound that is more, well, primal. Jamming an airtight metal-punk attack into its … Read more

On A Darker Dawn
Profane Existence (2012)

Minneapolis’ scene veterans WAR//PLAGUE have finally released their debut full-length LP On A Darker Dawn on Profane Existence Records. The recipe first displayed on their debut 7” single Smolder b/w Malevolent Winds and subsequent Attrition split LP with Police Bastard continues to evolve, albeit minor—then ‘n’ now comparisons show them veering in slightly different directions while still snarled up in … Read more
