Finnish doom-death force MARIANAS REST have released a new lyric video for „Rat In The Wall“, featuring guest vocals by Okko Solanterä of HORIZON IGNITED. The track is taken from their fifth studio album „The Bereaved“, which debuted at number three on Finland’s physical album charts upon its January release via Noble Demon.Finnish doom-laden death metal outfit MARIANAS REST have unveiled a lyric video for „Rat In The Wall“, a standout cut from their latest full-length „The Bereaved“, released in January through Noble Demon. The track features guest vocals from Okko Solanterä, known for his work with HORIZON IGNITED, I AM THE NIGHT, and Slaughterror, whose contribution adds another layer of emotional weight to an already formidable composition.
„The Bereaved“ marked MARIANAS REST’s fourth consecutive Top 10 entry on Finland’s physical album charts, debuting at number three and cementing the Kotka-based six-piece as one of the most consistent forces in Scandinavian melancholic death metal. Following a headline tour across Finland and a run of dates through major Central European cities, the band now turn their attention to a series of Finnish festival appearances, including sets at Dark River Festival in Kotka on July 11, John Smith Rock Festival in Laukaa on July 17, and Saarihelvetti in Tampere on August 14.
Formed in 2013, MARIANAS REST have built their reputation on a sound that blends doom, death, and post-metal into something simultaneously crushing and beautiful. „The Bereaved“ continues that tradition with a deeply personal meditation on mortality, grief, and the burden placed upon those left behind. Vocalist Jaakko Mäntymaa co-wrote the lyrics for „Rat In The Wall“ together with Solanterä, describing the process as near-automatic given their shared perspective on the song’s themes of trying to save someone from themselves. „The Bereaved“ is out now via Noble Demon.
