The band was formed in 2005 when two musicians from the black metal group Forest of Impaled - Varyen od drums and Adrian Adamus on guitar, decided to create their own project.They started working under the name "AGAINST" but after few months extended it to AGAINST THE PLAGUES. Originally starting as a "project", they hired Swedish musician and producer Wojtek Lisicki (Lost Horizon,Luciferion) to help with arrangements and production of the first album. However, after a few months of cooperation the "project" turned in to a full time, active band with Lisicki becoming a full fledged member and shortly before entering the studio, Orlando Logan Perez (ex VEX) joined the band as their singer and bassist to round out the lineup.

In 2007 , the band signed distribution deals with Century Media Records in U.S. and Plastic Head in Europe and released their debiut album "Architecture of Oppression" .
