Denver heavy boogie rockers Cloud Catcher last year self-released the live album Mile High Live, which was recorded in 2024, following their 2023 back-from-not-being-a-band LP, Return From the Cauldron (review here). Those Were the Daze, the trio’s new five-songer, is culled from older material.
The EP digs back to the era before their 2015 debut, Enlightened Beyond Existence (discussed here), to 2014 rehearsal recordings. Four of the five cuts — everything but the seven-minute opener “Silverback” — wound up on that first record, and though the parts of “Silverback” were eventually used, to have the song presented in its entirety for the first time here is special. Yes, the recording is raw, but you’ll acclimate to it and it’s worth the dig-in.
They call 2014 “care free, fresh and hazy as fuck.” Mostly I remember it as the latter now, but fair enough for a young band whose excitement bleeds through these tapes, and who even as they were getting their collective feet under them were able to use those feet to shuffle like bastards.
Nothing else to say, just have at it:
Recorded May 2014 in the basement of Seventh Circle Music Collective. This was the OG Cloud Catcher lineup getting stoned immaculate and rehearsing for our first album “Enlightened Beyond Existence.”
Included in this compilation is an unreleased song called “Silverback” in which some parts would be turned into the songs “Wield The Blade” and “Gemini’s Ascent” from our 2023 album “Return From The Cauldron”
The recording quality is surprisingly decent given that I just setup a ZOOM H1 Handy Recorder in the room…
Anyway, enjoy this brief snapshot of a time in our lives when we were young… things were care free, fresh and hazy as fuck.

Take what you can get from Cloud Catcher at this point. The Denver boogiebashers dropped Return From the Cauldron (review here) in 2023 after breaking up in 2019, and in light of the fact that they’ve already un-bandified themselves once, I’m not inclined to take them for granted again. Mile High Live is a new self-released live outing recorded last year. Unsurprisingly, it scorches.
The lineup on Mile High Live is the same as Return From the Cauldron, with founding guitarist/vocalist Rory Rummings joined by bassist Matt Ross and drummer Will Trafas. Somewhat curiously, none of the material on Mile High Live comes from the latest album, but instead from 2017’s Trails of Kozmic Dust (review here) and their 2015 debut, Enlightened Beyond Existence (discussed here). The tunes are killer, so you’re not gonna hear me complain, and as I was fortunate enough to see a different incarnation of Cloud Catcher live some nine years ago, this is a chance to hear the new(er) lineup in action. Again, no shocker here, but the band kill it.
Thus has been the story of Cloud Catcher since their inception. They kicked off with a special energy in their delivery driven by Rummings‘ riffs, and that foundation continues to serve them here. They remain a better band than people know.

The Obelisk Questionnaire: Rory Rummings of Cloud Catcher
—
How do you define what you do and how did you come to do it?
Cloud Catcher plays heavy music, plain and simple! No gimmicks, no image, just heavy riffs, musical dialogue between the band and cranked amps! This would have never came to be if my parents didn’t play Maiden, Priest, Sabbath, Skid Row and guitar driven tunes on repeat when I was a little kid… I also owe them the world for their endless support growing up and allowing me to continuously blow the tiles off the ceiling in our basement with my shitty Randall half stack hahaha!
Describe your first musical memory.
Setting up pots and pans to drum on in the living room as a 4 year old and pretending I was Clive Burr from Iron Maiden while watching “Video Pieces”
Also playing air guitar with my Dad to “Paris is Burning” by Dokken… George Lynch rules!
Describe your best musical memory to date.
Touring with Earthless in 2017 was pretty damn cool… here’s to hoping something like that happens again!!
Honestly, thinking of the jams with my friends at our home studio always makes me stoked. Oh and meeting Uli Jon Roth and having dinner with him by chance was so fucking cool too.
When was a time when a firmly held belief was tested?
Ah man, good question… having to sacrifice a friendship for the pursuit of artistic vision definitely opened my eyes.
Where do you feel artistic progression leads?
Artistic progression leads to the freedom to explore your own voice… I wish more bands were not afraid to take risks like this, instead of pigeon holing themselves into a box where they will always remain the flavor of the week… bands like the Melvins are a tried and true example of sticking to your guns and progressing your sound and vision while not giving a fuck about what others think. The result is priceless and something that will remain eternal.
How do you define success?
Jamming every Friday, being able to play shows and tour all while being a part of the working class. Doing shit yourself and being proud of the work you put in instead of relying on others to hand you things… that’s success to me.
What is something you have seen that you wish you hadn’t?
People still dressing up and pretending like it’s the 70’s in 2023… hahaha!
Honestly the way that social media has spread its psychic illness over the world has been something I wish I never had to see.
Describe something you haven’t created yet that you’d like to create.
A collaborative album between Cloud Catcher and Blood Incantation and Danava. Atmospheric synth filled riffage that this world needs… perhaps the best modern day prog album? Hmmmm we shall see. Paul, Greg I’m looking at you!!
What do you believe is the most essential function of art?
The artist fully embracing who they are and what they like and just fucking going for it!
Something non-musical that you’re looking forward to?
Staying at a family friends cabin with my wife and inner circle this upcoming week… few things are better in this world.
Six years and a rhythm section later, Cloud Catcher are back with a third full-length, Return From the Cauldron released on their own Cauldron Audio Works imprint. The follow-up to 2017’s Trails of Kozmic Dust (review here) arrives three years after the Denver trio offered their split with alter-ego outfit Tricoma, Royal Flush Sessions Vol. I (review here), which makes it four since founding guitarist/vocalist Rory Rummings dismantled the band in 2019 after canceling a tour and an EP The Whip. Rummings ended up revamping Cloud Catcher, with Matt Ross on bass and Will Trafas on drums, and Return From the Cauldron is the first long-player from this version of the three-piece.
The consistency of songcraft, then, and of Cloud Catcher‘s stylistic niche between classic heavy rock, proto-metal boogie and NWOBHM — not to say the whole album is all three at the same time all the time, but “Wield the Blade” certainly is and it still nods at Black Heaven-era Earthless — one might credit to Rummings as a principal songwriter. Certainly to go back to “Visions” from Trails of Kozmic Dust and put it next to some of the boogie on Return From the Cauldron, the style is recognizable.
Though never quite as willfully dizzying as The Atomic Bitchwax, Cloud Catcher are no strangers to making heads spin, and they do so across the first half of Return From the Cauldron while also finding themselves dug into a sludgier-rocking vibe, the verses of “I Am the Storm” calling to mind Backwoods Payback or early Alabama Thunderpussy as “Burning Might” will again soon enough, which the hot-shit noodling and Sabbath-blues shoftshoe of “Boundless Journey” only echo, Rummings‘ solo casting space outward from the cyclical riffs. Also consistent with the last album is a studio sound, by which I mean they have one.
I won’t claim to know Cloud Catcher‘s ethic as regards attempting to capture live energy in a recording. For sure they don’t sound like they’re trying to make it boring, but whether or not they’re specifically geared toward conveying stage-sound on record, I’ve no idea. But they use the studio space. You can hear the separation of the instruments in “Gemini’s Ascent,” the echoing layers of lead guitar taking off around the barebones psych expanse after two minutes in, room left for verse and flute alike. Fleet as “Wield the Blade” and “Wretched Moon” are, there’s nothing about them to muddy the clarity of their impression.
This is a mature Cloud Catcher. They are cognizant of what their songs are doing and how they relate to each other, the double-kick of “Wretched Moon” and motorshove of “Magician’s Chariot,” for example. And while there are parts that can and do sound raw, whether that’s the bassy fuzz of “Burning Might” or the chase in the guitar and bass after two and a half minutes into the closing title-track, that suits the band’s style, which is impressive enough in technique if not overly technical in what is being played.
But the amalgam of nod and thrust, within the earlier tracks (side A) leaning toward the lumber and in the back end delving deeper into the metallurgics of the thrashy “Wield the Blade” and “Wretched Moon,” which gallops later and crunches like ’90s doom in its first verses, drums building in intensity in the latter like they’re ending the album, even though that doesn’t actually happen for another eight minutes or so with “Return From the Cauldron,” with its creeper and obscure-samples intro and ensuing janga-janga chug, a slower-developing riff than many here that leads to plenty of gallop later. But if Cloud Catcher are going to take their time anywhere, the closer is the place to do it, and their patience is rewarding in the central groove and the twisting payoff alike.
I would love to go on about the band’s accomplishments a decade on from their start, but I’m sick. I can’t keep my eyes open and can’t keep food or water in me and I need to go to bed, now. But please don’t take that as a slight against Cloud Catcher or their achievements in this material, the efforts on Rummings‘ part to find and gel with a new bassist and drummer, and the resulting righteousness of the songs. That I managed to be upright at all to talk about them should be seen as a sign of respect for their work.
You can hear the entirety of Return From the Cauldron on the player below, followed by tour dates and whatnot off the PR wire.
Please enjoy:
CLOUD CATCHER has toured the US several times, including one run with Earthless and an appearance at Psycho Vegas 2017. The power trio has also had the pleasure of sharing the stage with the likes of such stoner/doom luminaries as Dead Meadow, The Obsessed, Danava, Acid King, Lecherous Gaze, and Pike Vs The Automaton. The band is set to embark on a West Coast tour in the Fall in support of Return From The Cauldron. See all confirmed dates below.

The forthcoming Return From the Cauldron by Cloud Catcher will be the Denver-based headspinner-rockers’ first full-length since 2017’s Trails of Kozmic Dust (review here). But if you’re feeling like six years is a long time, it’s actually not a terrible turnaround when one considers that the band broke up in 2019 and wound up back together with a new lineup behind founding guitarist/vocalist Rory Rummings — that’d be bassist Matt Ross and drummer Will Trafas — putting out a split in 2020 with their alter-egos Tricoma called Royal Flush Sessions Vol. 1. Three years on from that, releasing on their own label, yeah, that sounds about right.
But if you’d like to know a bit more of what’s to come with Return From the Cauldron — more than you might glean from the first single, “I Am the Storm,” streaming below — it’s that split that you’re going to want to dig into, because “Boundless Journey,” “Magician’s Chariot” and “Wield the Blade,” which all appear on the album’s tracklisting, were all featured on the 2020 release as well. So if you play it right, you’ve got the first three tracks and a cut from side B — four songs. That’s probably a more significant advance listen than will otherwise be available, even if the recordings are different.
West Coast tour lined up, of course. Release show is Sept. 30 in Denver, then they’re off and running. I wouldn’t mind seeing them again. Last time I did, they were a whole different band. Funny how that happens sometimes.
The PR wire has it like this:
CLOUD CATCHER: Denver Power Trio To Release Return From The Cauldron September 29th; New Track Streaming, Preorders Available, And Fall Tour Announced
Denver heavy rock power trio CLOUD CATCHER will release their third full-length, Return From The Cauldron, on September 29th via their own Cauldron Audio Works.
CLOUD CATCHER is guitarist/vocalist Rory Rummings with bassist Matt Ross and drummer Will Trafas, a rhythm section akin to Geezer Butler and Mitch Mitchell. With two albums and two EPs already under their proverbial belts, CLOUD CATCHER has been dispensing their own brand of guitar driven, heavy rock to the masses for over a decade. The band’s 2017 released Trails Of Kozmic Dust full-length reaped critical accolades both stateside and abroad.
With Return From The Cauldron, the Rocky Mountain riff merchants continue to push their signature sonic assault forward. An album about emerging positively from hard times and negative experiences, it’s a collection of songs where the themes are perseverance, growth, and hope. Most of the tunes were written when CLOUD CATCHER went on hiatus for the better part of 2019 and during 2020 when the world was slipping into pandemic madness…
“Return From The Cauldron is what I would consider the first true CLOUD CATCHER album,” elaborates Rummings. “We have found our sound and the material present is a further expanse on what we are capable of.”
In advance of the record’s release, today the band unveils first single, “I Am The Storm.” Notes the band, “’I Am The Storm’ is a song about crushing negativity and overcoming hard times with the power of self-realization and riffs. This song was inspired by some of the bands we all know and love such as Iron Maiden, ZZ Top, and of course, Black Sabbath. This song has been chosen as the first single because we feel it is a great introduction to those who don’t know of CLOUD CATCHER.”
Return From The Cauldron was self-recorded by Riley Rukavina, mixed and mastered by Greg Wilkinson at Earhammer Studios, and comes swathed in the cover art of Christina Hunt of Heavy Metal Talisman.
The record will be available digitally and limited-edition vinyl via the CLOUD CATCHER Bandcamp page HERE:

Just so we’re all brought up to speed — Denver, Colorado, mega-boogie shuffle trio Cloud Catcher announced in Feb. 2019 that they were done. And that. was. a. bummer. Bands come and go all the time, of course, but it’s always extra tough to see a group on their way up, still loaded with potential, snuffed out before it feels like their time. 2016’s Trails of Kozmic Dust (review here) was a joy and a marked step into themselves even from 2015’s Enlightened Beyond Existence (discussed here), and they seemed like they still had much to offer. Alas, kaput.
And then not. In 2020, the three-piece took to the woods alongside Tricoma and recorded live what would become their Royal Flush Sessions Vol. 1 split (review here). The situation was fluid, with guitarist/vocalist Rory Rummings playing in Tricoma as well as working with a revamped lineup featuring bassist Matt Ross and drummer Will Trafas, but one way or another, Cloud Catcher was back. Mention was made of a third full-length in progress and a label announcement coming soon.
Then, as it does, more time passes. A plague settles upon the land. Everybody’s everything gets fucked, and not in a fun way. With this tour announcement, Cloud Catcher reignite hope that, some six years after their sophomore LP, another might be ready to take shape. With no shows, they’ve had plenty of time to work on it, sure, but that’s different than seeing a thing pressed and released, and even though I won’t be at these shows, I still look forward to some confirmation of that record happening sometime in the great unknown future, ever.
This was a good band. No reason they can’t still be one. The journey would seem to be boundless.

It was a noteworthy bummer in when Denver-based boogieblasters Cloud Catcher announced they were calling it quits. Even as they left, however, they both toured and released an EP called The Whip (discussed here), and with that offering explored some different and harder-edged textures from classic metal amidst all the frenetic shuffle carried over from their how’s-that-spelled-again 2016 sophomore LP, Trails of Kosmic Dust (review here), which came out on Totem Cat Records. The band at the time was comprised of guitarist/vocalist Rory Rummings, bassist Scott Schulman and drummer Jared Handman, and as Cloud Catcher make a return with a live-recorded split release with sludge rocking fellow Denverites Tricoma, they do so with an entirely revamped rhythm section.
Doing so leaves Rummings as the sole remaining original member of Cloud Catcher and the perceived spearhead of the band, but as Royal Flush Sessions Vol. 1 plainly demonstrates, there’s been no dip in focus on the part of the band for the year and a half they were essentially defunct. Instead, they sound as they are: refreshed. And the plot is no less thickened than the riffs, as while Rummings has brought aboard bassist Matt Ross and drummer Will Trafas, he’s also joined Tricoma — whose self-titled debut LP came out in April, because timing — on guitar. Ross and Trafas also play in Tricoma, alongside vocalist Devin Trotter, guitarist Riley Rukavina, and now Rummings. So what you have on Royal Flush Sessions Vol. 1 are two bands, Cloud Catcher and Tricoma, the first of which is three-fifths of the other.
Got all that? Take a second if you need to.
One assumes that one band playing in the next made it somewhat easier for the two acts to lug their gear to the base of Hahn’s Peak in Clark, Colorado, to record the seven-song/35-minute entirety of Royal Flush Sessions Vol. 1 live in an outdoor setting. With follow-up mixing by Ben McLeod (All Them Witches) and mastering by Mikey Allred (All Them Witches, Across Tundras, etc.), the two groups offer a respective glimpse at who they are in the raw, with Cloud Catcher dominating the runtime with 24 minutes of material, 10 of which is dedicated to the jammed-out “Beyond the Electric Sun,” and Tricoma‘s three inclusions comprising the remainder. The tipped balance does little to dull the impact of Tricoma‘s arrival, however, since once their “God and Man” begins, it’s as though the five-piece are willfully snapping the listener out of the hypnosis Cloud Catcher cast.
That moment is essential to Royal Flush Sessions Vol. 1 — when “Beyond the Electric Sun” turns into “God and Man.” Make no mistake, both bands aim for scorch and both certainly get there, but it’s how that’s done that defines the release. Cloud Catcher veer more toward the heavy rock side of their sound even while nodding at the NWOBHM on “Magician’s Chariot,” swirling echo vocals behind Rummings‘ clean verses establishing the space in which the first of the band’s many barn-burner solos will take place. Trafas and Ross are tight and dynamic as one would expect an experienced rhythm section to be on import, and though the snare sound comes through tinny, its punctuation in “Boundless Journey” still establishes the nuance of Trafas‘ playing. “Wield the Blade” is maddening in its turns as Rummings‘ riffs dare the listener to keep up, twists and turns and shred conjured in head-spinning fashion like the returning hallmark of their sound that they are.
“Beyond the Electric Sun,” prefaced with a quick bassline from Ross, is slower and groovier at the outset and the centerpiece of the tracklisting on the whole. Cloud Catcher‘s portion of the split would still be longer than Tricoma‘s without it, but the balance would of course be much closer. It is, however, not a jam to be left out. By the time it’s two and a half minutes into its run, it’s left the verses behind and embarked on the outward journey, which will take it through psychedelia and boogie alike before hitting the throttle one last time and shoving onward to its finish, bringing about the aforementioned shift as Tricoma‘s harsher, more biting sludge rock takes the fore, the first scream from Devin Trotter a piercing snap to reality such as it is.
As “God and Man” and the following two cuts, “Knife Fight” and “Worthy of Obedience” play out, Trotter‘s style of blown-out throatrippers could just as easily be sourced to black metal as the Weedeater/Bongzilla school of sludge — at a certain point, lo-fi screaming is lo-fi screaming — but the blend of that harshness with Rukavina and Rummings‘ rolling fuzz, chug on “Knife Fight” and downright playful lead work on “Worthy of Obedience” put the band squarely in a weedian aesthetic place. Stoner crust? Maybe. They wouldn’t be the first. However one might be tempted to categorize them, Tricoma‘s onslaught — though brief — is an effective step away from Cloud Catcher‘s dizzying guitar-led array, since even though the vocals are nasty, nasty nasty, the instrumental progressions behind them are fluid and more accessible.
Go figure. Two bands. Same people. One blisters fingers, one puts nodules on vocal cords. Both rip.
They may vary in terms of aesthetic, but what Cloud Catcher and Tricoma share in addition to personnel, at least as regards Royal Flush Sessions Vol. 1, is the energy inherent in recording live. The feel throughout the release is more live-in-studio than live-on-stage, but in sound and vibe it’s live just the same, and that serves as the bridge as “Beyond the Electric Sun” crosses into “God and Man.” Whatever the future might hold for either or both bands, if Cloud Catcher will continue on as-is or simply be folded into Tricoma, or splinter off, or not, or anything, rest assured I have no idea. Will there even be a Royal Flush Sessions Vol. 2? Who knows. But for a surprise return from the former and a welcome showing from the latter, the split asks remarkably little of anyone taking it on except perhaps to be bowled over, and it makes that fun in the process. Sounds like it was a good time in the making, and is accordingly a good time in the listening.
Cloud Catcher & Tricoma, Royal Flush Sessions Vol. 1 (2020)
Oh, it was a cold and snowy Sunday night, but the rawk was hawt, and so on. Okay, so maybe I’m not much for the introductions, but I dug this episode. I want to screw with what I’ve kind of made the “format” of this show, and starting out with Kings Destroy, Clamfight and Forming the Void in honor of the show I saw on Saturday at the Saint Vitus Bar was fun. So it’s a little more than just be being like, “Duh, I like this record so here’s this song by this band,” though of course that pretty much applies here as well. I don’t know. Just something a little different. Branch out a bit. Try not to set rules for myself.
Speaking of a lack of rules, this one gets a little weird. Look out for Return to Worm Mountain and Hhoogg in the second hour, and then Volcano leading into longer tracks from Sons of Morpheus and Bees Made Honey in the Vein Tree. That last song from the latter is 17 minutes long, and hell yeah I was going to include it. So good. That record is an unexpected turn from them, but absolutely awesome, so if you know it, all the better, and if not, maybe you’ll dig. Dig dig dig.
New tunes besides from Hexvessel, Snowy Dunes, High Reeper, Yatra and the sadly-defunct Cloud Catcher, and a classic riff-roll from Spirit Caravan round out what I thought was a pretty killer mixtape, so yeah, if you checked it out last night or get to listen to it tomorrow morning, thank you.
