Heavily influenced by the North and South American dark death metal masters, Pathetic aims to create harsh and provocative music unique to themselves. Their forthcoming debut full length, Rat King, is no exception. The 10 infernal numbers of this album demonstrate the spirit of the unholy figures. To double the intensity, the Canadian trio maliciously discharged their d-beat inspirations onto the crafted death metal offerings. Apart from dealing with various dark topics, some parts of this opus picture ancient mythological and frightful folkloric matters such as Hamatsa, Rat King and Shetani.
Rat King is slated for worldwide release this July 12th digitally and on CD.

lyrics
Hamatsa
Channeling the spirit of the bear
A wild animal in human form
Cannibal sect of savage tribe
Descendant from a man-eating giant
Solitude beyond the pale
Howling from the wilderness
Initiate the young
Ancient mysteries
Hamatsa
Winter feast the time to feed
Fierce gnashing of the mangled teeth
Biting members of the tribe
Ritual summons beast
Slave women become the meat
Purified by the sea
Induced vomiting
Bridge
White man come to our shores
Repressing the ways of old
Potlatch banned for sacrilege
Dying culture seen no more
Ancient brothers of the cult
Warned of the terrors
Companions of death
Sucking out brains
Undocumented mystics
Powers through blood
Deleting the culture of
Kwakwa̱ka̱’wakw cult
Decent album from a band that has continued to grow and develop their own signature sound. The album 'Coming for you soul' released in 2019 is well worth a listen. I wish this band well, and every success. Fraz
The Alberta crushers hold tight to their rank, astral-gazing grindcore, staring down abyssal torment all the while. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 31, 2020
Excellent blackened death metal with some old school thrash vibes coming through. Production is on point, song structure is satisfyingly unique and there are some decent solos to crystallise the greatness. Fraz
