NEWS: Catalysis unveil “Lazarus”!

As they mark their return with a new line up, Dundee Metalcore crew Catalysis have shared a new single in “Lazarus” to pave the way for their next album. The track was actually written by new guitarist Jamie Paterson before his first audition, as a showcase that he could write in the signature Catalysis style. Lead guitarist Drew Cochrane and drummer Calum Rennie instantly fell in love with the track after it was brought to the rehearsal room and with a few tweaks here and there, the band quickly transformed the initial idea into the fully fledged song you hear today. The band will be performing at this year’s Dundee Metal Fest (Winter Chapter) on 7th December, alongside Imperium…

Guitarist and founding member Drew Cochrane comments: “Choosing a song written by Jamie [Paterson, guitars] as the first single for the new line-up presented a fantastic opportunity to welcome the new members into the band formally and cement their place, dispelling any “new guy” or “outsider” ideas and show that this is a collective effort and everyone has equal say and input”

Vocalist Andrew Downie adds: “I wanted to write a track about rebirth and resurrection whilst still paying homage to the previous Catalysis line-up. By blending the story of ‘Lazarus’ and references to previous Catalysis songs, my aim was to have lyrics that conveyed a message of overcoming adversity. Rather than being about death and rebirth, my aim is to inspire listeners to find strength within themselves, to persevere through challenges, and to embrace transformation.”
