Church Of The Rat – End Times Prayer (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe recommends: The ever impressive Church Of The Rat return with the stomping single “End Times Prayer”. The noisy and grungey reverbs collide throughout the track, creating an uneasy yet captivating sound. Church Of The Rat once again offer up a fitting soundtrack of these harrowing times.
