Solitude & Sin This was an excellent unexpected find. It’s got that great perfect fuzzy doom sound to drown away the sins of humanity, with a good mix of different vocal styles. Favourite tracks:1,2,3,5,6.

𝔩𝔬𝔲𝔡-𝔮𝔲𝔦𝔢𝔱-𝔩𝔬𝔲𝔡 𝓣he doomed 'n' deviant beast that is Rat King delivers both portent and product, within a sonic shipment of stonerized sludge and gloom-infested grooves. Tuned to the depths of Hell's damndest drainpipes and hexed with beastly eloquence; the Rat King is risen. Riffs entwined, unrefined and hard driven. Favorite track: Shackleton.

Only yesterday I felt this wrath A thousand corpses strewn along your path All the while you did nothing Their screams meant nothing Nothing Here I am in this unmarked grave Thousand corpses laid to waste Now I simply beckon the day The day you see who's really to blame Now the time has come to wash away the pain I know you will regret what you said

Supernova 05:54
Sometimes it's worth it not to even try Throw caution to the wind till the day you die What's the point of living lie after lie? We're nothing more than slaves to our caustic minds There's nothing left There's nothing left for me So I sit here by the candlelight Just as the clock strikes midnight I know my time here will come and go I'm only here to bleed for this fucking show There's nothing left There's nothing left for me Sometimes it's worth it not to even try Throw caution to the wind till the day you die What's the point of living lie after lie? We're nothing more than slaves to our caustic minds There's nothing left There's nothing left for me

Capsizer 06:39
Aeons of cascading defeats Raining down no empathy You watch the storms entrancing Chilling waters envelop the king I will breathe the ocean's light I will find a path for those who died Infamy lived in vain Fountains of youth waning No ship of the sea Can withstand thee I will breathe the ocean's light I will find a path for those who died Capsizer, won't you come to? How can you sit there and tell me these stories? You never lived, your soul's adrift Look within yourself and tell me she's not real I see your fear now that there's no life to steal Capsizer, won't you come to? Capsizer, won't you come...

A higher power Guides you lower I'll see you cower I'll put you under I'm the druid crusher I'll see you suffer The gods of old cannot Stand before me now I'll see them fall After I cut you down Your arcane arts Stand no chance Your head on my hearth You'll all be damned I'm the druid crusher I'll see you suffer I'll hunt you all Abomination I've struck you down In the name of vengeance I will wear the crown I'm the druid crusher I'll see you suffer

Vagrant 08:42
So today I made a mistake Trusting you despite your ways How could you? You'll never be the same to me Now the sun has gone away Just as I knew it would I knew all this would take place Left in the dark without a trace Things will not be the same Just another reason why I feel so betrayed And you just give reasons why I know lots of people You know lots of people Everybody knows Everybody knows a tale And all that shit about you Everybody seems to know Something I don't And you'll know me And you'll hear me And you'll fear me You lost me It happens again and again and again Sunrise, sunset You'll always be a vagrant Things will not be the same Just another reason why I feel so betrayed And you just give reasons why

about

Drawing from the depths of gloom, Rat King’s latest endeavor delves into the stark and pallid recesses of the mind and the fallible nature of mankind.
“Omen” is a largely heavier and more orchestrated body of work than their previous releases, including their debut EP “Barren” (2017). The album is driven by haunting, emotive vocals, an increasingly rare commodity in a metal scene so committed to harsher styles of singing. The low tuning and methodical pace of each track draws the listener into the shadows and holds them to the very last note.
