The Rods have inked a deal with Massacre Records and unveiled the first single and music video for the title track of their upcoming album, “Rattle The Cage.” Rattle The Cage is set to arrive on January 12, 2024. 

Drummer Carl Canedy comments:

“THE RODS are thrilled to have signed with Massacre Records! The staff and the label’s commitment to Metal is second to none. We feel our new album, “Rattle The Cage”, is one of our best ever. We’re looking forward to working with everyone at Massacre to help make this album as successful as it deserves to be. The Rods have always been about bringing their music to the fans. We will be doing just that in 2024! “

Vocalist/guitarist David “Rock” Feinstein adds:

“In preparation for this new album, I received a message from Carl stating that he had an idea for a new song. He sent me the title, and some lyric ideas, and of course I thought the title and concept he formed was great. He then left it to me and my imagination to add more lyric ideas, and complete the musical work. The song is about the everyday person who feels trapped at what they might be doing in their life. No matter what the job may be, the need for relief was in need. It’s also about freedom, and about standing up for what you feel is right, and not being taken advantage of. Rattle the cage, and be heard. Let your feelings be known, and stand up for your rights. It really applies to everyone’s life.“
