GREAT DANE RECORDS

CATALYST is a technical death metal band from France, delivering a powerful and intricate music. From pure brutal parts to heavy and catchy riffs, CATALYST create a unique atmosphere to take the listener to an unconventional universe, embellished by a fictional story written by the band, adding a real singularity to their songs. For fans of NILE, DEATH, OPETH and OBSCURA.

Comes in 2001 from the Belgian muddy underground, CATARRHAL combines killer songwriting with wild and murky ambiances. A brutal, bleak and deep atmosphere for decaying souls of death metal!

CATARRHAL’s second full length “Fleshgrave” has been reissued on digipack with an exclusive artwork drawn by Mark Riddick. This edition includes, besides the ten tracks of Fleshgrave recorded at Blackout studio (Enthroned, Necrowretch,…)  the first official release of “Beyond Onirism” 2004 five tracks demo!

Lyrically, *Totentanz* follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, *Fall of Humanity*, where modern society stands by, helpless and powerless, as atrocities—such as wars and genocides—unfold across the globe. The album offers a musical and poetic reflection on death in its many manifestations. Musically, the style remains largely unchanged, though the sound here is somewhat more distinctive and less derivative than in the past, featuring slightly more varied riffing. Recorded, mixed, and mastered at Nowhere Studios.

For fans of NILE, HATE ETERNAL & SUFFOCATION
