“A Different Painting For A New World”, which was produced by HK Krauss at Vamacara Studio (Loudblast, Sinsaneum, Dagoba, among others), brings you to enigmatic field of brutality and epicness.
The original story of “the Catalyst”, vital core character of the band’s concept, is being carried through these 10 brand new tracks. As a “concept band”, CATALYST tells an original story of a universe brought to life by 9 Lords, originally protecting its integrity, but now corrupted by the almighty Creator. In this new chapter, the Catalyst now needs to purify that world, contaminated by the Creator’s madness and chaos. It tells the birth of a better world through destruction, but also about the battle of two entities fighting for different beliefs.
The stunning artwork was created by the French visionary Above Chaos (Meshuggah, Moonsorrow, etc.).
“The new album is well on its way to be released, and will hit much harder than the first one did. The work we’ve put into it will strike your ears with ferocious and overwhelming brutality, and we’re more than ready to hit stages to show how much of a banger this is going to be when played live! It was a lot of work to create this full hour of intense music, it took us several years to get to this point. The release for this album was delayed two times, so it was really hard for us to wait until the release. But now we are ready! We are very proud of the result, it’s a complex yet quite accessible album”, comments the mastermind Jules Kicka.
