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
RAT KING
The vermin intertwined
Their tails entangled in shit
In the darkest shadows
They are sickly, near death
Rat king feeding itself
With a continued disgust
Poisoning itself
A Thriving Rattus
Rat king
The vermin intertwined
Their tails entangled in shit
In the darkest shadows
No escape from death
One off the other
No mind of their own
Toxic habits, stuck together
Followers among followers
The king as blind as its slaves
Infested with disease
It will surely die
The vermin intertwined
In a circle of chaos
Fecal glue, washed in sewage
Feeding off detritus
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
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
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
It's like if Suffocation had current-day Immolation production with the thick sound that's slightly round at the edges. This is high quality death metal, performed and recorded well. fyeahmetal
