Belgium metal band CATALYST is currently wrapping up
the recording of their first full length. Following the release of their EP
‘Catalyst’ in 2022, we will be presented with new work in 2023. The record will
be called ‘The Age of Rocketeers’ and will feature 8 new songs. The recording
and mixing of these songs took place at Project Zero Studio situated in
Laakdal. After having worked before with producer Andre Six in Brussels for the
EP, the band opted for the countryside this time where they mostly isolate
themselves for 3 weeks to record the album together with Yarne Heylen
(CARNATION, Project Zero, Y-productions).
"The new record will contain songs that are both
darker and more melodic than what we have released in the past. Each individual
band member has transcended themselves by putting on a formidable performance
in the studio. The album title is a reference to the interconnection between
power, data and capital ... and the hobby that some of its holders enjoy.
Catalyst will, as always, bash established values with socially critical as
well as introspective hits.” (Jeroen Van Ranst, vocals)
The release of ‘The Age of Rocketeers’ is scheduled
for September 2023 followed by an extensive fall tour. However, those who don't
want to wait that long can sign up for an exclusive tryout of the band on March 18 in the deserted village of Doel.
