Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes announce new album ‘Dark Rainbow’

September 28, 2023 James Weaver

FRANK CARTER & THE RATTLESNAKES have announced a new album!

Titled Dark Rainbow, the upcoming album from the UK rock band is the follow-up to 2021’s Sticky, and is scheduled to be released in January next year, via International Death Cult/AWOL.

In contrast to their previous records – which were snapshots of the time and mindset in which they were made – Dark Rainbow was born from self-reflection, memory and gratitude. “I’m just witnessing the world change so quickly and I’m still trying to come to terms with who I am and what the authentic version of me is,” vocalist Frank Carter says. “By giving people what I thought they wanted I think I got further and further away from who I actually am, you know? So now, first and foremost, I’m prioritising what I need. Sobriety has been really, really helpful for me.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Man Of The Hour. “We talk about how rock and roll will never die, but we never really talk about how maybe the idea of the rock star should die. The whole concept and what it means has always been this glamorised moment, but ultimately when I put that suit on, it didn’t go very well for me,” Carter says. “I’m just witnessing the world change so quickly and I’m still trying to come to terms with who I am and what the authentic version of me is. By giving people what I thought they wanted I think I got further and further away from who I actually am.”
