When it comes to metal “Made in Germany”, there is no way around BRAINSTORM. Exciting times are now ahead: The band has signed a new record deal with Reigning Phoenix Music and will release their new studio album “Plague Of Rats” in early 2025. The new album not only marks another milestone in the band's career, but also revives the Indian themes first presented on “Soul Temptation” (2003) with two single tracks. With songs such as the fan favorite “Shiva's Tears”, the band set memorable standards back then that still resonate today. “Plague Of Rats” combines BRAINSTORM's distinct trademark - powerful riffs, rousing melodies and gripping choruses - with modern influences and a fresh aggression. “Plague Of Rats” was produced by Seeb Levermann (Orden Ogan, Angus McSix), who helped the band to capture the raw energy of their live performances in the studio. The album cover was designed by Gyula Havanczák, who was responsible for the artwork on previous BRAINSTORM releases.
BRAINSTORM look back on an unparalleled career: since their debut “Hungry” (1997), the band has continued to develop and consolidate their position in the international metal scene with albums such as “Metus Mortis” (2001), “Soul Temptation” (2003), “Liquid Monster” (2005) and, most recently, “Midnight Ghost” (2018) and “Wall Of Skulls” (2021). They have toured worldwide and achieved impressive chart positions in recent years. But instead of resting on their laurels, they are more determined than ever to set new milestones. With “Plague Of Rats”, BRAINSTORM return stronger and more creative than ever before. The album is the next big step in their career and shows that they are still one of the leading names in German metal. Fans can look forward to a massive dose of metal - and BRAINSTORM are ready to rock the stages of this world again. BRAINSTORM - Metal “Made in Germany” - and the best is yet to come!
