But when Alice Glass, the Canadian duoвЂ™s goth-eyed frontwoman, glowers with punk ferocity across producer Ethan KathвЂ™s hard-driving beats, the only reasonable thing to do seems to be to follow them to hell and back itвЂ™s rave music in every sense of the word. ItвЂ™s not easy to be relentlessly macabre and unapologetically bleak while at the same time making people want to get up and dance. YouвЂ™ve got to hand it to Crystal Castles.

It features footage from Andrzej Е»uЕ‚awski's 1981 horror film, Possession. It was originally directed as a fan-made video by Ivan Grbin, before being released as an official music video. The music video was released on September 24, 2012. In his elaborative track review, Dean Lucas of This Is Fake DIY called the song an 'almost a modern day interpretation of the ' O Fortuna' movement of Carl Orff's ' Carmina Burana' as the drama builds thanks to an ominous-sounding beginning to a frighteningly huge catharsis.' He also described Alice Glass' vocals as 'sounding like a threat of suicide thanks to her petulant psycho-brat charm,' while writing that 'quieter build-up to its gothic chorus drenched in black keys is both immediately oppressive and haunting.' To conclude his assessment of the song, he stated that 'the song feels different to their previous efforts, as by their own standards, it's much more of a slow burner.' Music video

Jason Lipshutz of Billboard magazine wrote: 'Consisting of three movements between calm, ethereal verses and an assault of synthesizers and programmed drums on the refrain, 'Plague' obscures Glass' lyrics as her voice tries to overpower an avalanche of noise.' Tom Breihan of Stereogum called the song 'their latest bit of bloodthirsty gothed-out dance music,' while stating that 'it will doubtless sound amazing the next time you see them in some dank cavern of a venue.' Marc Hogan of Spin magazine contrasted the song with the previous album, inferring that the band is interested in 'strobe lights and strangulated screams, not synchronized lanterns or future- R&B lullabies.' Jamie Fullerton of NME noted 'the ominous thump and nasty bass, plus eerie silences that act like post-apocalyptic drops', also further commenting that the band still sounds 'dangerous, demented and utterly thrilling' with their new song. The song mostly received positive reviews. The release date of the album was eventually announced with the release of the next single, 'Wrath of God', on September 26, 2012.

The band posted a Soundcloud link to the song on their Facebook page July 25, 2012, without providing any further information about the song or the next album. The song debuted at the band's live performance at Parklife Festival in Manchester, England, in June 2012.
