‘RAT KING’ releases new single ‘Hour of the Wolf’

June 16, 2009

After the success of their debut album ‘The Plague Of Hamelin’, Indian experimental/ambient metal band Rat King released the track listing for their second album ‘Larva’, and announced that the album is on the verge of completion and should be in stores by the end of July. The basic plot of the album revolves around a pedophile’s unremitting dreams, his moral dilemma and his deteriorating faith in God. Hour Of The Wolf, a track off the new album has been put for free download on http://www.gimmesound.com/RatKing/

Rat King is an experimental/ambient/industrial music project from Madras, India consisting of members Deepak Raghu and Murari Vasudevan (ex Maelstrom). The music draws influences from significant metal origins and ambient moods, as well as tropical tones, instruments, and the use of orchestral and classical elements to narrate a tale, which is the pivot around which the albums revolve. The story, or concept, is told through layers of diverse instruments and often contrasting musical styles, creating an atmosphere that can suspend the listener in its portrayal. The debut album, titled “The Plague Of Hamelin” is an instrumental concept album based on a morbidly distorted version of the Grimm Brothers’ classic tale, “The Pied Piper of Hamelin”.
