Founded in Vienna in 2018, VERRAT stands for uncompromising crust that combines death and black metal with the raw energy of D-beat. Their new album, ‘Das Credo der Angst’ (The Credo of Fear), released on 17 October 2025 in analogue and digital form, can be understood as a dark reflection on a society heading towards decline, marked by end-time scenarios and social and cultural division. In this society, conflicts are increasingly violent and fear becomes the driving force, the prevailing belief behind political demands and actions. Musically diverse, yet always aggressively forward-moving, lyrically reflective but angry. In short: political, personal, brutal!
The LP will be available again in 2016 with a printed inner sleeve, this time on black vinyl. It is again a co-production of various labels, among others Bomb-All Records!
So this is proper, moody punk and a great soundtrack for sad people. If you like Leatherface, Mega City 4, HDQ or Husker Du, Ill Wind might just be for you!
