The band also shared insight into the inspiration behind the track, stating:

“‘Rat Torture‘ is about a suffocating descend into a world where the illusion of freedom is maintained by the glowing screens and empty validation. The song paints humanity as willing prisoners, rats in a cage they worship. Every scroll is a mechanized ritual where identity is performed instead of lived. While there might be still human beneath the glow, it’s too numb to break free.”

The band also have a number of festival appearances lined up in the near future:

06/18-21 Dessel, BEL – Graspop Metal Meeting
06/24 Pilsen, CZE – Basinfire Festival
06/26-27 Leipzig, GER – Impericon Festival
06/27 Ysselsteyn, NET – Jera On Air
07/04 Viveiro, SPA – Resurrection Fest
10/31 Goppingen, GER – Core Fest
