RATS WILL FEAST: Finnish experimental hardcore outfit drops "Penetration" single, new album "Hellhole" out in May!

Jason Hesley

Finnish experimental hardcore outfit RATS WILL FEAST is preparing to drop their monstrous new full-length album, "Hellhole", through Time To Kill Records on May 17th 2024.


Today, the band unveils the album's second single, "Penetration".


RATS WILL FEAST commented:

"The title of the song 'Penetration' refers to a parasitic relationship, where one party takes what they need and wilts the other one. Our band's lyrics often strive to achieve this dual perspective; how it feels in your own head and how it feels to live in this world. Such a relationship manifests itself in both personal and social life, where exploiting the other is commonplace".


RATS WILL FEAST draws their musical landscape from extreme aggression and hallucinatory chaos. Hailing from Jyväskylä, Finland, the band has been touring actively in its current form since 2018. Varying between crushing hardcore, noisy psychedelia and more mellow post-rock sounds on their 2019 album "Scarcity", 2020 EP "Songs of a Racehorse" and 2021's "Malady", the band’s new album "Hellhole" continues the development of the bands destructive chaotic hardcore sound.


"Hellhole" is the culmination of the band’s all the previous work. It’s a bruising demonstration of the bands core sound: chaotic rhythms, battering drums, screeching vocals, varied guitar melodies and crushing riffs with gritty low frequencies.


Characteristic of the band, the album is defined by the twisted song structures and desolate, emotional lyrics which deal with the artificiality of the modern world.

01. Penetration

02. None Fated
