7 Angels 7 Plagues was formed in 1999 by Jared Logan from the scraps of two local Milwaukee bands,[1] Castahead and Intercede.
[2][1] A self-released demo EP, Until the Day Breathes and the Shadows Flee, was issued by the band in 2000 while they toured in the midwestern United States.
[2] The group toured in support of Jhazmyne's Lullaby, but while en route to a show in Savannah, Georgia in 2002, their tourmates Compromise were involved in a car accident, with two of the band's members passing away in the crash.
Matthew Matera started a mastering and recording company called American Modern Studios, located in both Chicago and New York City areas.
A retrospective in 2014 stated that the band "continue to be a major influence on young metal and hardcore acts" in the Milwaukee scene, more than a decade after their breakup.
