Southern German hard 'n' heavy powerhouse BRAINSTORM is finally breaking their musical silence. Their upcoming album, Plague of Rats, is set to drop on February 28, 2024, through their new label partner, RPM. Today, they've given fans a taste of what's to come with the release of the album's first single. Rest assured, the band hasn't ventured into fairy-tale territory with this India-inspired record. Instead, they deliver a pure heavy metal anthem with the track "Garuda (Eater of Snakes)".

The single tells the tale of Garuda, the mythological half-human, half-eagle creature known for slaying snakes and serving as the messenger of the gods. With its powerful riffs and Far Eastern melodies, "Garuda (Eater of Snakes)" bursts forth as a dynamic and fitting introduction to Plague of Rats. This track doesn't just live up to its name-it's a striking first glimpse into the album's sonic landscape. The accompanying music video, crafted by Mirko Witzki, delves deeper into the rich tapestry of Indian mythology and legends, immersing fans in this mystical world.

"The wait is over, and we couldn't be happier to finally release new music to our fans. "Garuda" is the perfect introduction to our upcoming album Plague of Rats: it's heavy and powerful, and you feel connected to the music, the beat, the riffs, and the melodies immediately!" comments guitarist Torsten "Todde" Ihlenfeld.

Plague of Rats can now be pre-ordered in your preferred physical format (earbook, digipak-CD, colored vinyl, ticket bundle), pre-saved on your favorite digital service provider (DSP), or pre-ordered digitally (including the instant-grat track "Garuda (Eater of Snakes)"): https://brainstorm.rpm.link/plagueofratsPR

Once caught by "Garuda (Eater of Snakes)", which will likely find its way to the band's future set list, European metalheads should make sure to attend BRAINSTORM's eight-date release tour alongside ARION and STRANGER VISION. The tour kicks off on the night before the official Plague of Rats release date in Aschaffenburg, Germany. Dates and ticket info can be found below!

Though BRAINSTORM have a long history -- much like the ancient Indus civilization, the main force behind Plague Of Rats -- they're still in tune with the times. Their latest opus combines signature elements with a fresh, modern edge that's clearly left its mark on the album. Plus, the band's 'attack mode' approach shines through with a line-up of powerful tracks - no slow songs, no ballads, just pure, high-energy metal. Created alongside their trusted team -- Sebastian "Seeb" Levermann for mixing and mastering at Greenman Studios, Gyula Havancsak on artwork, and Alex Kuhr on photography -- this album delivers ten epic new tracks that will transport fans to the captivating world of India and beyond.
