Swedish Hardrockband DEAF RAT opens the curtain on a sinister but oh so-tempting stage set from a dark musical with massive guitar riffs and strong melodies. DEAF RAT is the band that fills up the cracks in the ageing concrete between Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Guns N’ Roses and Pantera. DEAF RAT serves up a mean dish where the meat is grilled over open fire to somewhere between raw and bloody. As always the secret is in the seasoning: rich, searing hot and addictive.
