RATICIDE, formed in Prague in 2020, stands at the intersection of gothic grunge, grunge revival, and post-punk disillusionment. Emerging from the shadows of uncertain times, the band channels raw emotion into a sound that feels both nostalgic and confrontational — a reflection of the generation raised on distortion and discontent.
Their music carries the pulse of the ’90s but through a darker lens: heavy, textured guitars, brooding atmospheres, and lyrics that dissect solitude, irony, and modern decay. It’s not a return to grunge’s past, but its rebirth — stripped of illusion, rebuilt through melancholy and defiance.
RATICIDE’s aesthetic is minimal yet intense, a fusion of bleak romanticism and industrial rawness. In a world obsessed with polish, their sound stands as a reminder that imperfection still bleeds with meaning.
