Rats of Gomorrah, the ferocious German death metal duo formerly known as Divide, have unleashed their explosive debut album, *Infectious Vermin*. I caught up with the band’s vocalist and guitarist, Brutal Boris, to delve into the new music and the conversion behind the name change.

Brutal Boris, welcome to Archyde. The name “Rats of Gomorrah” certainly carries a punch. What inspired the shift from Divide to this more visceral moniker?

Thanks for having me! You see, “Divide” felt too limiting. It hinted at separation, at discord. But we were aiming for something bigger, something that encapsulated the chaotic, uncontrollable force that is driving our music. “Rats of Gomorrah” represents that raw energy, the certain descent into chaos, the unrelenting hunger that keeps the music alive.

The change in name seems to have ignited a sonic revolution on *”infectious Vermin”.* It’s a brutal and compelling mix of death metal, speed metal, and thrash. How has this transformation impacted your songwriting and sound?

It was liberating, to be honest.”Divide” was a more restrained project. But with “Rats of Gomorrah,” we shed those shackles. We allowed ourselves to be more aggressive, more experimental. The new name gave us the freedom to explore darker sonic landscapes, to fuse those genres without limits. *Infectious Vermin* is a testament to that unbridled energy

You mentioned embracing chaos. Do you see your music as a commentary on the state of the world today?

In a way, yeah. We’re all immersed in this madness, this constant churn of information and uncertainty. Our music is an outlet for that frustration, that sense of impending doom. It’s not necessarily a solution,but it’s a way to confront the darkness head-on,to scream into the void.

Rats of Gomorrah are certainly making a statement. What can fans expect next from the band?

We’re already hard at work on new material, pushing the boundaries even further. Expect more sonic mayhem, more brutal riffs, and possibly a touch of madness. We’re just getting started.

Thanks for your time, boris.
