Sheer emotion is the name of the game on Wonder ' Brandon Hill's hurricane drumming propels the song, as Rorik Brooks' melodic guitars and Madison Marshall's tortured screams deliver complete catharsis in just under two minutes.
Over the past ten years, Cloud Rat has established itself as one of the most compelling bands in the underground ' releasing four full-length albums, eleven EPs and splits, a live album, and various other comps, the prolific Michigan trio has made a name for itself via sheer emotion and musical freedom. Emerging from the space where hardcore punk spirals into grindcore, Cloud Rat incorporates musical influences from across the map ' black metal, death metal, noise, folk, and beyond ' all while retaining its realness and urgency.
Brooks states, "Pollinator is our most complete and accomplished work yet. It is the quintessence of everything we've tried to say and do before, and it's kind of fitting that we are coming up on a decade of being a band together."
As a companion piece to Pollinator, CLOUD RAT has devoted an entire EP to its more experimental leanings: Artoffact will release Do Not Let Me Off the Cliff as the second disc in a 2-CD digipak version of Pollinator.
