Legendary hard rock icons
RATT have announced that
Infestationwill be the title of their next album, which is penciled for release in March 2010 via Loud & Proud/Roadrunner Records.
Infestation is the band’s first studio album since 1999’s self titled offering. The band, consisting of longtime members
Stephen Pearcy, Warren DeMartini and
Bobby Blotzer, new guitarist
Carlos Cavazo (formerly of Quiet Riot) and
Robbie Crane on bass, worked with producer
Elvis Baskette (Chevelle, Incubus, Limp Bizkit), living in Elvis’ Virginia studio for the duration of the recording of the record. This was the very first time in the bands career that Ratt have recorded outside of Los Angeles.
RATT have enjoyed a rich, impressive and certainly long-lasting legacy through the years, having made their mark in the 1980s with 5 consecutive multi-platinum albums, including
Out of the Cellar, Invasion of Your Privacy and
Dancing Undercover. With 1984’s mega-platinum debut
Out of the Cellar celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, the band is looking forward to starting a new chapter with new music to complement the impressive legacy they have established over two-plus decades.
Ratt will hit the UK this coming December for a handful of shows. Dates are as follows and tickets are on sale now (buy online here-
