The Swiss metallic hardcore institution is finally back! Almost two years after their acclaimed Metal Blade debut "With Triumph Comes Loss", these scene veterans have come up with an even more brutal record in "Kingdom"! Once again sound guru Tue Madsen (CALIBAN, HEAVEN SHALL BURN, HIMSA, HATESPHERE, RAUNCHY, KNUCKLEDUST, BORN FROM PAIN, END OF DAYS…) produced the album in his Antfarm Studio, gracing this Kingdom of Switzerland with a merciless production, getting every last ounce of aggression out of each of the 11 tracks on offer! CATARACT have long been known for their crushing shows, incessantly playing tours and single shows with metal and hardcore bands alike (No Mercy Festivals/Triumph Of Hate Tour with MAROON), as well as the most important European festivals such as Wacken, Summer Breeze, With Full Force, Pressure Fest etc. With the new album "Kingdom" the band will destroy European stages starting April through late July, then returning in December with label mates SIX FEET UNDER and GOD DETHRONED on the X-Mass Festival tour. With a perfect symbiosis of both styles, metal and hardcore fans will get a reason to kick off a giant pit on 19.05.2006 (G/A/S) / 22.05.2006 (rest of Europe)!(Source: Metal Blade Records)

    For Their Sins

by Matthias Mader (13.04.2006) “Kindom's rise“ begins disastrous with a slowly increasing drum staccato from “South of heaven“, the finger's on the trigger and with “War of cultures“ the sound blast suddenly breaks over the puzzled listener - an explosion that I haven't experienced with this brutality since “Reign in blood“! To be honest, I'm fed up with the question - and the band also probably - is it hardcore, is it metal, is it metal core? I don‘t care. “Kingdom“ is exactly the album that Slayer should have made after “South of heaven“, every single song has more killer riffs than their complete new exodus. The vocals are a bit distorted; the hectic phrases fit the ultra-brutal sound perfectly - fortunately, the vocals never remind me of death metal grunts. In songs, like “On this graveyard“, there are extended instrumental breaks that beautifully highlight the great coordination between drumming and riffing. Forget Born From Pain, forget Hatebreed, forget Caliban - the true Slayer are named Cataract!
