Richmond, Virginia’s THE CATALYST return with a pummeling, 13 track disc of filthy, feedback-soaked, noisy rock, compiling songs from last year’s Marianas Trench 12” EP, their split 7” with BRAINWORMS, and split 12” with MASS MOVEMENT OF THE MOTH.
Recorded in sessions over 2006 and 2007, Marianas Trench + 9 captures THE CATALYST’s signature, melodic-yet-noisy hardcore sound as they continue to draw influence from the pure power and intensity of Nirvana, The Jesus Lizard, Melvins, Born Against, and others. All songs have been given a full remastering by Carl Saff (Pygmy Lush, Grails, etc). Cd comes packaged in a jewel case with six panel full color insert.
“This fuzzed out, distorted noise-fest of grueling bass, pummeling drums, and disjointed guitars is a serious headfuck. Compiled from previous eps, it unsettles and unnerves. In a good way... Melding a whole heap of styles and influences into their feral sound – one minute they’re a slow-burning Kyuss, the next they’re Botch on steroids and then they’re At The Drive In – we like this. A lot.” – ROCKSOUND
“A healthy dose of incredibly dirty yet still heavily melodic three piece rock 'n roll… warm and driving bass melodies accompanied with howling guitar work possessing borderline psychedelic tendencies.” - LAMBGOAT
