Catalepsy
Bleed
Formed in 2004, CATALEPSY has been a giant in the Florida music scene for years. No less than Jamey Jasta from HATEBREED signed CATALEPSY to his label Stillborn Records. In 2007 CATALEPSY recorded an EP and full length album. The "Godless" EP was released in October 2007 and got sold out of all available copies quickly. Their crushing debut full length "Iniquity" was then released in May 2008. With "Bleed" CATALEPSY now have recorded a release that will be unparalleled. "Bleed" is more mature but not a fraction lighter than their previous work. Dissonant ringing chords blend into hard charging metal both at attack speed and sludgy slow burns with major anthemic hooks throughout. As guitarist Rob Walden says "On our last release we were more of the death-core style which was constant breakdowns and speed. When it came time to write new material, we were as interested in writing something memorable to groove to as well as brutality." The result is album highlights like Medusa, Monolith and Goliath (featuring Mat Bruso of Bury Your Dead), as Walden comments "Since we started we have been into one word titles for our band name, our song titles and album names." Produced by Matt Johnson (THE AUTUMN OFFERING), CATALEPSY's sophomore album "Bleed" is sure to turn heads. The album will hit European stores on May 20.
