about

The first single from our brand new album. Don't worry, you'll know more soon...

Well now, I told you 2025 was the year of the rat didn't I? 2024 was hell, but hell cannot stop us. I made it out unscathed because that's what I do, and we wrote some badass music. You know who you are when I say this to you: Welcome to the Abyss, motherfucker.

lyrics

I scaled the mountains
I broke the axe
I braved the dungeon baby
And left you dead in your tracks
I dove into the abyss
I made it my home
I came back from the dead
My enemies have nothing to show

And I’m still right here waiting
I’m everything you hate

I’m unbroken
I’m unscathed
I won the war
Before you even crawled from your cave

I heard howls in the night
On my journeys up north
And in the cold, wintry ice
I decimated the throne

And I’m still right here waiting
I know that you’re afraid

I’m unbroken
I’m unscathed
I won the war
Before you even crawled from your cave
I conquered the abyss
I tamed The Ocean
I capsized all the ships
It was time to sink or swim motherfucker

Welcome to the abyss

I’m still right here waiting
Well you got nothing to show
And all the tides are turning
I’m everything you hate ‘cause…

I’m unbroken
I’m unscathed
I won the war
Before you even crawled from your cave
I conquered the abyss
I tamed The Ocean
I capsized all the ships
It is time to sink or swim motherfucker

Welcome to the abyss
Try me

Thanks to Addison Norrington for the single art! I also want to thank my boys in Rat King, Jason Wilcher and Andrei Stirbu, for kicking ass during the recording just like they always do, and for helping me get through the last year.
