Ratt Reveal Artwork, Tracklisting For Infestation

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ RoadRunner Records) - Its no secret that RATT are back and raring to go. The band is proud to announce April 20, 2010 as the release date for their Loud & Proud debut, Infestation, an 11-song opus that is their first studio record in 11 years. The first single, Best of Me, is scheduled to impact rock radio on February 21. The song is available at all digital stores.

Theres been a flurry of activity in the Ratt camp in the past few years. Vocalist Stephen Pearcy has returned to the fold and the band has since signed to Loud & Proud/Roadrunner. The legendary Los Angeles rock squad, also featuring guitarist Warren DeMartini, drummer Bobby Blotzer, bassist Robbie Crane and new guitarist Carlos Cavazo, engineered Hollywoods much-heralded Sunset Strip sound in the 1980s.

We wanted this to be like something that we would have written right after [1984s] Out of the Cellar, Pearcy said. We definitely went back to basics with the mindset of a band with a lot of excitement and some great songs to get out. Infestation was produced by Elvis Baskette (Chevelle, Alter Bridge.) in the helmers 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.

The track listing for the album is as follows:
Eat Me Up Alive
Best of Me
A Little Too Much
Look Out Below
Last Call
Lost Weekend
As Good as it Gets
Garden of Eden
Take a Big Bite
Take Me Home
Dont Let Go
