Formed in 2015, Ratbreed have quickly established themselves as one of the most promising acts in Finnish heavy metal scene. Their first gig took place at the legendary Ravintolalaiva Wäiski in Helsinki on April 16th 2016 and was soon followed by more live shows in Helsinki area. The band gained reputation as a hard rocking live act at local clubs like On The Rocks, Elmun Baari and Kulttuuritalo, where they supported Finnish alternative metal pioneers Waltari at their 30th anniversary show.

In the spring of 2017 the band thought they had enough material to record an album. They entered Deep Noise Studios (Kouvola, Finland) with Juho Räihä to record the drums and shortly after recorded all other instruments and vocals at the guitarist Markus Taipale’s home studio. In December 2017 the album was mixed and mastered in Kouvola (again by mr. Räihä) at Sound Spiral Audio. (Wolfheart, Profane Omen, Before The Dawn)

The album is entitled “Evoke The Blaze” and will be released through Inverse Records on Friday the 13th of July 2018.
