CATHOLICON
"
Treatise On The Abyss"
(Negativity Records)

When I haven't heard a note from a, to me, new band I always make up different scenarios of what I think they?ll sound like. It almost always end the same way. What I had imagined is nowhere close the actual sound of the band. But with American Catholicon I kind of got what I expected. A cross between death and black metal that in no way comes close to the Scandinavians but wins points on at least trying. Think a mix of Morbid Angel's "Altars Of Madness" and Emperor's "Anthem To The Welkin At Dusk" and you get a pretty good idea of the chaos Catholicon creates.
