In this line up the band recorded it’s first compositions on tape – “Your Truth” in 1993. Despite some technical imperfections Catharsis presented the beginnings of their own style, trying tocreate their original view on death metal. The band continued their development and worked on new songs with new members – Konrad and Dariusz were replaced bydrummer Artur Pudło and guitarist Tomasz Świerz. In 1995 Catharsis released their second demo “Bitter Disdain”. Complex compositions with strong technical elements, accompanied by a dose of emotions and melody won a decent amount offans, so that the band started live performances, supporting bands like Christ Agony or KAT. Then, in 1996 after several line up changes, Catharsis decided to suspend the band’s activity for some time..

Years later, in 2010 Adam and Tomasz decide to revive the band, working on new material and at the same time looking for a new drummer and a guitarist. In2011 they find a female guitarist Katarzyna ‘Kate’ Bujas, who appears to be the missing part of the band. With some fresh blood in the system, Catharsiscontinues to look for a drummer. After several unsuccessful attempts, the banddecides to take a session musician and their choice is Łukasz ‘Lucass’Krzesiewicz, drummer of a Polish band Sammath Naur. Lucass fills in the musicnot only with his perfect technical skills, but also gets the band’s styleimmediately and completes the songs with complex and sophisticated drum tracks.Catharsis records the new album entitled “Rhyming Life And Death” during a fewsessions in Invent Sound Studio (Bydgoszcz, Poland). The album reflectsperfectly the new vision of the band’s music – it contains a strong dose ofcreative technical death metal, with a trace of a modern taste, emotion andmelody. The cover art – made by the artist Michał ‘Xaay’ Loranc, known fromcooperation with bands like Behemoth, Vader and Nile – matches the concept ofthe album excellently.

We hope that “Rhyming Life And Death” will be a pleasant surprise for everyone who is looking for something new and original in death metal.
