Catapult the Dead Set Nov. 15 Release for A Universal Emptiness

catapult the dead

It doesn’t take long into their second album, A Universal Emptiness, for Oakland post-doom six-piece Catapult the Dead to set an atmosphere as heavy emotionally as it is in its tonal substance. Doom Stew Records will have the four-track/38-minute full-length out Nov. 15 as the follow-up to the band’s 2014 debut, All is Sorrow, and while bits and pieces like some of the emergent riffing in opener “Till it Goes Away” and some of the Steve Von Till-style vocals that accompany might be traced back to Neurosis, cuts like the organ-laced “Last Breath” and the piano-topped album apex “Burning Womb” put that churn to individualized purposes.

I’ll hope to have more to come on this one. Digging the vibe a lot so far. The PR wire had this to say on it:

Catapult the Dead A Universal Emptiness

Catapult the Dead release new album on November via Doom Stew Records

Hailing from Oakland, Ca, the 6 piece crushing tribe of doom Catapult the Dead, are teaming up with San Francisco’s Doom Stew Records for their latest full length release “A Universal Emptiness”, due on November 15th, 2017.

Catapult the Dead bring to the genre their own version of musical sorrow, despondency, and longing. This unique and haunting outfit is as beautifully devastating as it is callous and brooding.

A Universal Emptiness is a 38:39 minute apocalyptic journey. Sweeping synth and organ soundscapes lead you eerily, through a dark thunderous wall of sound. With thick brutal guitars at the core, it’s rhythmic foundation is dragged angrily along by layered bass and powerful booming drums. All the while baleful roars and ghostly wales round out this bleak, crushingly dynamic, full length offering.

A Universal Emptiness will be available on November 15th. CD and LP’s are available through Doom Stew Records. Digital download and cassette tapes are available directly through Catapult the Dead. The 12″ vinyl comes in 3 special color variants to compliment thebeautiful illustrations created by Macedonian artist Pig Hands. Also featuring insert and label Illustrations by Death Ink.
