In the lost metropolis of Calgary, Canada, broods an obscure evil. Blackrat has taken the oath with Shadow Kingdom Records for the third album, "Dread Reverence," due in Spring 2018. Like the disfigured offspring of Morbid and Motörhead (or Tank and Tormentor), Blackrat brings humanities' oldest nightmares to life.

"We have awakened something very evil on the new album," promises vocalist/guitarist Ian Lemke. "We anticipate a great spreading of terror from our bond with Shadow Kingdom!"

Release date, cover art, and preorder info for "Dread Reverence" to be announced imminently. Expect ancient witching metal of the highest, filthiest order - beware of Blackrat!
