Rats - out now on Pearls for Swine Records

So, lately I’m attempting the business model of releasing often dead things on even deader formats. This is my second tape release, which I thought could interest some frequenters of this forum. Check it out. Listen/order here: http://pearlsforswine.bandcamp.com

“Short version:
Four tracks of fuckin' ace doom metal/rock in the spirit of Witchfinder General and Sabbath, recorded in 2007 by a band long gone. Genuine, blasphemous and eccentric, with lovely analogue demo sound.

Long version:
It is thirteen years old now, the RATS demo. Remember vividly how taken aback I was by that Witchfinder General oozing rock pearl “The Preacher’s Wife”. Still am. That shabby CD-R may have looked modest but somehow wiped the floor with nearly all bands around with similar ambitions. What was that final, essential component this bunch - hailing from the town of Linköping, Sweden - had in it? There just was something very genuine and classic in the songwriting and execution, that you wouldn’t hear every day. Resting on a solid foundation of classic Sabbath while indisputably retaining plenty of personality of its own. And embedded in a sound reminiscing that of a private pressed British 7” from ‘79-82. Quite irresistible.

With this humble release I hope for this underground gem to reach a few more of those that should hear it. Now properly mastered (by O. Carlquist at the Black Path studio), the recording comes on pro-tapes with new layout made by the band, lyrics as well as 35 additional seconds of previously unreleased music.”

Holy Hell, to say this sounds like Witchfinder General merged with Black Sabbath was a serious understatement.

Ordered immediately!
Welcome to our dream
Welcome to our night
I can make you scream
I can make you fight
