In ancient Greek myth as told by the Roman poet Ovid, the Boeotian hunter Narcissus was so extremely beautiful that he fell in love with a reflection of his own image in a pool of water. His name became synonymous for the clinical condition of the pathological Narcissistic personality disorder.
RATS OF GOMORRAH have taken the name ‚Narcissus‘ for their latest advance single and visually enhanced the track with tour scenes from their private archive. The German death metal duo will unleash their forthcoming debut full-length „Infectious Vermin“ on the reschuled date of January 31, 2025.

RATS OF GOMORRAH comment: „This track re-imagines the ancient Greek tale of the handsome Narcissus“, frontman Daniel Stelling explains. „In our version, Narcissus becomes a malevolent force rather than transforming into a flower, who torments others by putting himself above all else. This song combines our signature sound with an homage to one of the most influential acts in death metal – can you guess which band we are talking about? Follow us into this dark ancient tale and experience the haunting force of self-obsession turned evil.“
