CATARACT to release "Cataract"!
2008 marks CATARACTs tenth year of existence, and it will also be the year in which CATARACT release their highly anticipated and self-titled fifth full-length album.
Since 1998, CATARACT have been evolving from a project band into one of Switzerland’s premiere metal outfits and one of Europe’s constant parameters in the modern Thrash and Metalcore genres.
The past time has brought a lot of changes for the band. A new guitar player and a new bass player were added, a whole new album was written and still they were out on Europes stages kicking some serious ass. CATARACTs new formation has added a lot of fresh blood and creativity to the sound and the best proof will be the new album scheduled for March 2008. This self-titled fifth release is by far their most progressive to date, showing a lot more variety by adding a lot of brutality and speed but also more melody and heaviness. The massive production of Tue Madsen is the cherry on top of an impressing album!
CATARACT will be promoting their massive new release with tons of shows and various tours all over Europe!
"Cataract" will be available in three editions. As a regular cd, as a limited edition cd with bonus-disc (for which the band recorded a whole bunch of cover songs) and as a picture disc on vinyl (limited to 500 copies)!
The album is to be released the 20th of March (D/A/CH/I) / 25th of March (rest of Europe)!
