Beloved costumed rock band Gwar have unveiled the music video for their track “Ratcatcher” on Friday.

The visual, which can be seen below, was animated by Makinita Silva with Ryan Ewing handling the editing. Gwar vocalist Blóthar said this about the visual:

“What better way to celebrate the end of human existence than a little reminder of your dark and violent past from the disease-ridden middle ages! ‘Ratcatcher‘ is the true story of the mysterious Pied Piper of Hamelin. HA! It was GWAR all along! This tune, and every single song on this album is red hot molten lead poured directly into your ears! GWAR is eternal!”

“Ratcatcher” comes from Gwar’s new studio album The New Dark Ages, which was also released on Friday. the record is the follow-up to Gwar’s 2017 studio album The Blood of Gods.

Gwar are currently touring the United States in support of the release. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now.
