RATT: New Audio Interview With WARREN DEMARTINI Available

March 19, 2010

Rustyn Rose of Metalholic.com conducted an interview with guitarist Warren DeMartini of Californian rockers RATT on March 18, 2010. You can now listen to the chat in two parts below.

"Eat Me Up Alive", a brand new track from RATT, can be streamed using the audio player below. The song comes off the band's new album, "Infestation", which will be released on April 20 via Loud & Proud. The group's first studio record in 11 years contains the first single "Best of Me", which is available now at all digital stores.

"Infestation" was produced by Elvis Baskette (CHEVELLE, ALTER BRIDGE) at his Virginia studio, marking the first time the band has recorded outside of Los Angeles. The album is full of attitude and of reflection, cycling through a range of emotions. There are party anthems that RATT are known for alongside more contemplative, thoughtful tunes.

01. Eat Me Up Alive
02. Best of Me
03. A Little Too Much
04. Look Out Below
05. Last Call
06. Lost Weekend
07. As Good as it Gets
08. Garden of Eden
09. Take a Big Bite
10. Take Me Home
11. Don't Let Go

"It took 10 years to get back to where we are now, but we're in a good place," singer Stephen Pearcy told Noisecreep. "It wasn't overnight. It took a therapist here and there. It took opening those wounds and stitching them again and closing them. And it's still going on. But we're older now and it's a business, and we've gotten to where we can work together again and make great music."

"I guess I was always hoping that we would settle our differences and get back to work," added Warren DeMartini. "Our problems weren't about our sound or anything. The differences kind of continue to this day, but with the help of our manager and time, we've been able to get some distance from the emotions and create a platform we could both live with to continue from."

RATT will guest on the nationally syndicated radio show "Rockline" with host Bob Coburn on Wednesday, April 21 at 8:30 p.m. PT / 11:30 p.m. ET. Fans are encouraged to speak with RATT by calling 1-800-344-ROCK (7625).
