Fresh off the release of their second album, Modern Ruin, the hardcore punk band toured across Europe. In Agust, they will take the Main Stage at the Polish festival.
You probably have an image of Frank Carter in your mind. Leaning out into a moshpit, stripped to the waist with nearly every spare inch of flesh covered by a tattoo and screaming so hard the tendons in his neck threatening to burst through the skin.
It’s a perception of Carter cemented back when he raised himself over the parapet as the frontman of Gallows, the vital hardcore act for which he was the righteous anger-fired totem-head and while anyone listening to Modern Ruin can hear that Frank Carter shouting back across the years, he’s only one small part of the picture. Something the second Frank Carter And The Rattlesnakes album makes abundantly clear in its sheer scope, scale and audacity.

Carter left hardcore punk band Gallows after two era-defining albums: Orchestra of Wolves from 2006 and Grey Britain from 2009 to establish a brilliant, albeit a short-lived music project named Pure Love. Having experimented with a powerful rock in the spectacular Anthems album released in 2013, Carter went on to create a new music collective. Two acclaimed albums released by Frank Carter and The Rattlesnakes later, Carter proves that he is a creative force to be reckoned with.
We’re multi-faceted people. Humans are incredibly complex in their nature and I want to embrace that. The problem that people have found with me is that they don’t really know how to judge an artist on their output when it’s so eclectic. But that’s me, unfortunately. I’m a complicated guy. I like a lot of things.
