Following their much-acclaimed debut album, Ban The Light ( 2019, AFM Records ) and a series of live tracks, taken off their incredible show in support of JUDAS PRIEST "Live In Dalhalla", Swedish hard rock trio DEAF RAT has released a brand new single! The song is out now on all digital streaming services via https://deafrat.bfan.link/say-
"Say Your Lies" tells a story about the mysterious phenomenon of sleep paralysis and the malicious entity nightmare that has been documented to haunt people in their sleep worldwide since the early 1300s. "In six months time, I had three friends tell me about their experiences of waking up in the middle of the night, unable to move or speak", frontman Frankie reveals. "They all saw a dark diffuse shadow like character in their room, and all felt like if someone was sitting on top of their chest. Now if that is not a good topic for a hard rock song then I don’t know what is!"
"Say Your Lies" shines as an expertly produced rock anthem that showcases the band's musical prowess. DEAF RAT have again succeeded in merging lyrics and music into a gripping, pulsating high-energy rock track! Get ready to get dragged into the abyss, and watch the band's new lyric video for "Say Your Lies" here:
DEAF RAT hails from Dalarna in Sweden, a small region with long traditions of mining, steel industry, music and a healthy dose of DIY attitude. The broad sound of DEAF RAT is built on a strong foundation of classic 70s, 80s and 90s rock packed with influences of the band members different personal favourites. With their massive guitar riffs and strong melodies, this is the band that fills up the cracks in the ageing concrete between old school and modern hard rock.
With their driving riffs, thundering drum beats, and an electrifying presence, DEAF RAT prove that they are one of the most explosive and dynamic forces in the world of hard rock. The band is currently in the studio, working on the successor album to Ban The Light. Earlier and this recent summer, they have already shared a first track, entitled "Schizophrenic Part Of Me", which is available on all digital services and on Youtube. Frankie adds: "To be in the studio with the other guys is a dream. I can just sit in the studio and listen to the guys play their guitar parts and enjoy their sheer talent which is over the top!"

Lay Bare Recordings are proud to have signed dark ambient act, kariti, for the release of her upcoming, new studio album titled Dheghom! kariti’s second full-length offering will be available as Vinyl on February 2, 2024; the album pre-sale has just started at: https://laybarerecordings.com/
"Hearing the voice of ekaterina from kariti made an instant connection with my heart and my skin. It was hard not to engage with her captivating blend of powerful vocals, engaging melodies, and evocative poems. kariti’s mix of intimate, stripped-down mourning folk songs with crisp sounding instruments and eerie harmonies creates a unique and emotional experience.” Lay Bare Recordings owner, Désirée Hanssen, comments. "The impact of kariti’s voice is evident, draws you as a listener into it and makes it easy to connect with the depth of her music and words. kariti's resonant vocal tone adds a distinctive and profound quality to her music. It's fascinating how a singer's voice can shape the emotional experience of a song. Lay Bare Recordings is beyond thrilled to welcome kariti to the label and to collaborate on releasing her upcoming album. Incredibly exciting to walk the path of this rich and diverse musical experience together."
kariti states: "Dheghom is an attempt to write about some things I can’t necessarily understand or even feel, but have a lot of feelings about, it is as eclectic musically as it is focalized in terms of lyrical themes and the meanings they bare. I had to be patient and wait for a very long time to let it out, my appreciation to Désirée goes beyond words. A few different labels could have become the home of Dheghom, but when Désirée of Lay Bare recordings got back to me, I instantly knew that was it. The way she spoke about it made me feel that she understood exactly what this record meant (to me) and that she would be as keen to work on it as a label can be. I am extremely happy and proud to collaborate with such a forward-thinking label driven by this powerhouse of a woman, who puts all her passion, enthusiasm and energy into helping underground artists to get their music heard and I cannot wait to see where this path takes us.“
Dive deeper into kariti's captivating, dark sound and listen to the first single, A Mare Called Night, now streaming here:
kariti (карити) - 'to mourn the dead' in church Slavonic - is a Russian-born artist based in Italy. Her debut 'Covered Mirrors' was released in September 2020 by Italian cult label Aural Music (Negură Bunget, Imperial Triumphant, Messa). Marco of sludge outfit Grime contributes to some of kariti’s songs with his guitars and often joins her for live performances. kariti’s dark ambient music is recommended to those who enjoy dark explorations accompanied by the smell of burning wood and the moonlight reflecting off snow delivered through profound lyrical content. kariti toured Europe several times and shared the stage with Messa, Grift, Conny Ochs, among others and recently was invited to open the Italian leg of the tour of Brutus. Her intense live shows have been described as liturgy-like and cathartic.
Her sophomore album, Dheghom, sees a notable development in terms of kariti's sound, songwriting and the use of instrumentation. It features various synthesizers, analogue piano, strings by Jon K (live Cough, Dorthia Cottrell), a song with drums and bass, multiple contributions by Grime's Marco on guitars/noise, and a haunting duet with Dorthia Cottrell of Windhand.
