Frank Carter And The Rattlesnakes Come To The Liverpool Arts Club In February As The Announce The End Of Suffering Album Release.

They say the third time’s the charm, and, after the breath-taking, ruthlessly efficient one-two punch of Blossom and Modern Ruin, here we are – at Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes’ album number three – at once a stadium sized declaration of intent and a deeply personal cri-de-coeur called End of Suffering.

Recorded in just six months over the heatwave that engulfed London last year, End Of Suffering – named after the Buddhist term for enlightenment- is the sound of a band entering an entirely new realm of the senses, a forty minute rock ‘n’ rollercoaster of molten-hot bangers, scorched-soul ballads and grunge lullabies laced through with a lacerating lyrical honesty.
