Cloud Rat will return with the band's latest album, Threshold, due for release on Oct. 7 via Artoffact Records.
The band shared lead single, "Cusp," below, a taste of the group's heavy, grindcore-rooted sound while subtly nodding at many other styles.
"To me, Threshold feels like a response to all of our earlier material. I think we finally have a successful distillation of all our seemingly disparate influences, into what I feel is our best work so far. It builds upon earlier Cloud Rat material with expanded songwriting, technical prowess, and overall intensity, while more organically incorporating the melodic and electronic leanings that we've been exploring over the years," guitarist Rorik Brooks says in a statement.
Brooks also engineered and mixed the album, which was mastered by Harris Newman.
