{"product_id":"v-rats-intelligent-design-cd-2026-soundmass-import","title":"V-RATS - Intelligent Design (CD) 2026 Soundmass Import","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Intelligent Design” was the debut full-length by V-Rats, a hard-working band from the Midlands of England. The talented and experienced band members had been session musicians for the likes of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Tygers Of Pan Tang and more, as well as touring the V-Rats extensively in the UK and gaining major sponsorship deals, so when they finally got to recording this album anticipation was high!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndependently released in 2008, “Intelligent Design” serves up a full plate of traditional guitar-driven hard rock and metal, with a splash of groove, blues and funk. V-Rats was the brainchild of vocalist\/bassist Pete MZ Emms, who arranged the whole album, so it’s not surprising that his style is a perfect fit. Add to that the searing guitar work of Paul May and Mike De Jager and you have a match made in heaven! Production values are also high, with everything sitting in the mix exactly where it should. So it you missed “Intelligent Design” the first time around, or you’re sick of the bland music being churned out today, buy this album! This is true musicians rocking it old-school, their musical heritage on full display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis V-Rats re-issue has been given a 2026 remaster by guitarist Paul May and includes three previously unreleased bonus tracks, demos recorded for a follow-up album that never eventuated. And if that wasn’t enough, the whole layout features the spectacular original “Intelligent Design” artwork commissioned from world-renowned fantasy illustrator Rodney Matthews!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eUSA customers:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ea limited quantity of this CD is available at Christian Metal Distro\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTRACK LISTING:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntro\u003cbr\u003eNo Good For Me\u003cbr\u003eDirty Little Secret\u003cbr\u003eKnow Definition\u003cbr\u003e‘Et Al’\u003cbr\u003eLisa\u003cbr\u003ePoint Of No Return\u003cbr\u003eSo Over You\u003cbr\u003eAll The Ones You Want (You Can’t Have)\u003cbr\u003eSouth Of My Heart\u003cbr\u003eDevil To Pay\u003cbr\u003eBlood Demons \u0026amp; Whiskey\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBonus Tracks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDoes It Really Matter\u003cbr\u003eRoll Of The Dice\u003cbr\u003eReign\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christian Metal Distro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48353591132330,"sku":null,"price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0054\/8179\/1562\/files\/VRATSintel.jpg?v=1779916918","url":"https:\/\/roxxrecords.com\/products\/v-rats-intelligent-design-cd-2026-soundmass-import","provider":"Roxx Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
