“We are thrilled to present you the third and final single off our new album, ‘Paragon Of Devastation’! Pure death metal awaits you in this track, packed with relentless riffing, bludgeoning drumming and intense growls & screams. The story of the Catalyst continues, with the Creator awaking from Its slumber with boiling blood, infuriated and ready to cast down the one daring to oppose Its majesty. Recollecting its might and forces, nothing will get on Its way, for It is the Paragon of Devastation’”, comments the band.

“A Different Painting For A New World”, which was produced by HK Krauss at Vamacara Studio (Loudblast, Sinsaneum, Dagoba, among others), brings you to enigmatic field of brutality and epicness.
The original story of “the Catalyst”, vital core character of the band’s concept, is being carried through these 10 brand new tracks. As a “concept band”, CATALYST tells an original story of a universe brought to life by 9 Lords, originally protecting its integrity, but now corrupted by the almighty Creator. In this new chapter, the Catalyst now needs to purify that world, contaminated by the Creator’s madness and chaos. It tells the birth of a better world through destruction, but also about the battle of two entities fighting for different beliefs.
The stunning artwork was created by the French visionary Above Chaos (Meshuggah, Moonsorrow, etc.).
