Cloud Catcher Touring in March for The Whip EP Release; New Song Posted

cloud catcher

Denver power trio Cloud Catcher were initially tapped to open for High on Fire on that band’s Winter tour, but as those shows got canceled last week, the Colorado-based purveyors of headspinning riffage will instead play their first show of 2019 in March as the release gig for their upcoming EP, The Whip. 2018 was relatively quiet for Cloud Catcher as they toured with Crypt Trip and continued to support their 2017 sophomore full-length, Trails of Kozmic Dust (review here), which came out through Totem Cat Records, but it seems like they’re getting back down to it in 2019, and they’ve just given a first look at what’s in store with The Whip by unveiling the new song “Beneath the Steel.”

It’s a 4:45 thrust of embers burning and armor pierced by swords, which isn’t necessarily new ground for Cloud Catcher but still more toward a classic metal vibe than they’ve sometimes gone in the past. I wouldn’t necessarily speculate as to how “Beneath the Steel” speaks for The Whip as a whole — mostly because I haven’t heard the EP, but also because as their last album proved, they’re able to bring a number of different moods to fruition throughout a release. Cloud Catcher came out of Trails of Kozmic Dust with no shortage of momentum behind them, and if the tempo of “Beneath the Steel” is anything to go by, their interest lies solely in pushing themselves as far as they can go on any number of levels.
