RATS OF GOMORRAH - neuer Video Clip; Debütalbum am 31.01.25
German Death Metallers RATS OF GOMORRAH have revealed the third single from their upcoming debut album "Infectious Vermin", coming on January 31st 2025 via Testimony Records on all formats.
Check out the video clip for "Narcissus" here: https://youtu.be/l2MREGjjYqA
The band comments: "This track re-imagines the ancient Greek tale of the handsome Narcissus", frontman Daniel Stelling explains. "In our version, Narcissus becomes a malevolent force rather than transforming into a flower, who torments others by putting himself above all else. This song combines our signature sound with an homage to one of the most influential acts in death metal – can you guess which band we are talking about? Follow us into this dark ancient tale and experience the haunting force of self-obsession turned evil."
Guitarist and vocalist Daniel Stelling and Moritz Paulsen on drums had already been a part of the internationally active Northern German death metal trio DIVIDE since 2009, which had become a duo in 2016. In this formation the musicians that have claimed Bolt Thrower, Carcass and Vader as major sources of influence managed to establish an excellent name in the death metal underground. In fact their standing in this scene grew to such an extent that DIVIDE was able to tour not only throughout all of Europe, but also in Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, and even in India. In 2022, they even won the German competition of the Wacken Metal Battle and were awarded a slot at the largest and most famous metal festival of this planet.
Despite their legacy and all the hard work that it took to establish their name, the duo was not content to remain within the limitations of their stylistic mould. Although they stayed true to death metal, they already started to make their music more rough and dirty, expanded their horizon with elements from black, thrash and other influences from extreme music, and even added a healthy dose of weirdness. Out of respect for their previous works and acknowledging the changes, the two Germans decided to change the band name to RATS OF GOMORRAH.
And although RATS OF GOMORRAH are averse to simply regurgitating all the tired clichés of an average death metal album, they have not completely abandoned that ship. They just took some detours into heavy and speed metal territory, kept vocal pitching varied, and added some hot spices such as crust-infused riffs and catchy choruses.
