In the pulsating heart of Guadalajara's burgeoning death metal scene lies Cathartic, a band that has long surpassed their novice status and is rapidly gaining momentum within the global metal community. Their debut album, "Through the Abysmal Gates of Subconscious," was already a blistering introduction to their take on the genre. Now, they've decided to pay homage to both the roots of metal and the tactile fidelity of vinyl with a fresh release.
This week the vinyls arrived at Raise the Dead HQ with the textured grooves of the record promising to convey the raw energy and intensity that Cathartic is renowned for. If you were quick to the draw and pre-ordered, brace yourself—shipments rolled out this weekend. For those dragging their feet, a word of advice: secure your copy post-haste. Releases like this have a knack for becoming sought-after collector's items.
The band's reputation isn't just limited to the studio. Fresh off the stage from Candelabrum Metal Fest, whispers in the scene hint at a performance that's set a new benchmark.
The beauty of Cathartic lies not just in their ability to churn out relentless riffs, but also in their passion for the death metal art form—a commitment evident in their decision to release on vinyl. "Through the Abysmal Gates of Subconscious" isn't just an album; it's a statement, a manifesto. Whether you're an old-school metal purist or a fresh face in the pit, this is a release that demands attention.
For those yet to acquaint themselves with Cathartic, now is the moment. As we often remind our readers: in metal, as in life, it's the pioneers that etch their mark on history.
