Biography
The concept of the band Kathaarsys started in 2002: It comes from the black abyss where endless hardship dwells, a concept born out of a feeling of disappointment, out of the painful spirit buried in defeat, out of being bound to observe the outcomes of the eternal frustration of our soul.
The band became well known in 2005 when they released their first album, Portrait Of Wind And Sorrow, which has captured the intimate and, so far, lethargic meaning of the group. The reaction to their work has been highly positive all over the countries where it has been distributed (France, UK, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Holland, Romania, Mexico, USA, Japan and Korea).
It has been mainly in South America where the band created their incredible expectations, which became plausible in October 2006 with the Mexican release of their spectacular first record using artwork different from the postmodern trend of Concreto Records. The impression caused by this at home and abroad has been only the beginning of Kathaarsys' musical career.
In November of that same year the band entered the same studio they used to record their debut, Litium Records Studio, this time to record Verses In Vain, their second full-length album released in November 2007 by Silent Tree Productions (Europe) and Concreto Records (America). The artwork was designed by the famous painter and draughtsman Kris Verwimp, who has worked for bands such as Immortal, Ancient Rites, Suidakra, and Marduk. Peter Neuber was the sound magician who carried out the mastering process, well-known by his captivating work for Callenish Circle, Dying Fetus and the like. Ironically, in spite of the feeling of hopelessness and pessimism underlying it, this record resulted in a very positive evolution for the group.
Throughout this period of time the band grew in popularity as a result of their two big tours: Portrait Of Tour And Sorrow 2006 and Tour In The Black Abyss 2007, the former taking place within the country's borders, the latter across Europe (France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and Spain), where they have shared various dates with the Romanian gods Negură Bunget. The band was spectacularly welcome all over Europe by their audience.
There is no doubt that Kathaarsys have managed to create a very personal and genuine style of music, as it is not an easy task to associate their sound with any specific genre. The band members consider themselves to be inspired by the sounds of black, death, and doom metal while being open to progressive touches, acoustic or even rock and jazz.
Lyrically, Kathaarsys find their inspiration in the drowsy Galician nature...
