HOLYROLLER have announced a new album!
Titled Rat King, the upcoming album from the North Carolina-based stoner metal band is the follow-up to 2022’s Swimming Witches, and is scheduled to be released in June this year, via Ripple Music.
Speaking about the upcoming album, the band shares, “Rat King is our heaviest, most straightforward album to date. Our goal was to create catchy stoner rock with brutal doom laden riffs throughout. We wanted simple songs with undeniable groove at every turn. Vocals you can sing along to & rhythm that keeps you head banging. Lyrically, our themes revolve around navigating mental health as Adam Cody’s sings about suicidal thoughts and finding peace in being an atheist, substance abuse, political ideologies, aging in the music industry and more.
A Rat King refers to when a group of rats has lived in such proximity that their tails and fur fuse together over time, forming a mass that has to work together as one. Our message is: work together to accomplish what needs to be done, lift up your fellow rats and be a king in your community, however small it may be. Don’t underestimate the little guy. Take a bite out of crime, and most importantly, smoke em if ya got em.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, HOLYROLLER have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Crunch Riff Supreme. The new music video was first premiered by The Obelisk.
